6 things in a mobile app that will piss off users

 6. Lookalike/wannabe user experience: A new user won't be drawn to an app that looks and feels like another good app in the same category. People can smell a rat. It's fine to create an app that does everything the other app does, but at least the user experience should be different. Apps are identified by user experiences, so copying is not a good idea. Using the same app design for all platforms is another bad practice. The user experience of an iOS app and an Android app differ in design principles. A good user experience on iOS does not necessarily mean that it will also work on Android. 5. For iOS, Ikea used the same user interface. It's alright to have too many apps. It's a lofty goal, but it's doable, for your app to match your mother in utility. However, due to the smartphone's limited size, you can only communicate a limited number of functions to your user. An app developer recently stated that users do not utilize all of the app's features. And i

Four animals and insects that humans can’t live without

 Many people fail to fully appreciate the significance of relying on other species when they begin to consider the ecosystem and nature as a whole. Whether we are aware of it or not, everything on Earth is interconnected. The human species is dependent on a large number of other life forms to continue existing, so human survival is not solely dependent on humans. You might have been informed that some animals are going extinct or that their populations are declining. In fact, larger endangered animals like rhinos, tigers, leopards, and gorillas are frequently the focus of the media. However, there are a number of much smaller species that do not receive the same amount of attention as these larger animals do. But have you given any thought to the potential effects that these dwindling populations of smaller animals and insects could have on the ecosystem? And how do particular species aid our survival in contemporary society? Let's take a closer look at a few animal species that hu

Technology in the next 30 years: will it save humanity or kill us?

Artificial intelligence has the potential to make the difference between a dystopian and livable future in the face of the catastrophic effects of climate change. Futurism is a mug's game: If you are correct, it appears routine; If you're wrong, you sound like Thomas Watson, the founder of IBM, who said in 1943 that the world has room for "maybe five computers." When David Adams wrote about the future of technology in the Guardian in 2004 and cited the same prediction as an example of how they can go wrong, he was aware of these risks. Adams certainly performed better than Watson from our perspective in 2020. He avoided many of the pitfalls of technology prediction when he looked ahead to today: There are no assurances regarding flying automobiles or futuristic technologies like teleportation or travel faster than light. However, the predictions were overly pessimistic in some ways. In the last 16 years, technology has really advanced a lot, and AI is a perfect exampl
