For smart phones there was one argument that moved me a moderate amount. I’m a web developer and startup founder. I was talking to my cousin’s boyfriend who is also in tech. He made the argument to me that if I don’t actively use smart phones I won’t be able to empathize as much with smart phone users, which is important because to a meaningful extent, that’s who I’m building for.
I didn’t think the empathy point was as strong as my cousin’s boyfriend thought it was. Like, he seemed to think it was pretty essential and that if I don’t use smart phones I just wouldn’t be able to develop enough empathy to build a good product. I, on the other hand, saw it as something “useful” but not “essential”. Looking back, I think I’d downgrade it to something like “a little useful” instead of “useful”.
I’m not sure where I’m going with this, exactly. Just kinda reflecting and thinking out loud.
I’m similar, for both smart phones and LLM usage.
