Hey

A lot of great points – thank you

I’m 49 – product owner – background in Code / 3D / Advertising – a unholy trinity 🙂

IMHO…

“Kids” will always rebel – as we did too – this is a good thing, keeps evolution going.

Tech these days is very youth focused and moves faster than ever… ..also much more complex and the UI / UX has to cater for so much more than it used to.

I also see a lack of discipline and inability to focus on multiple levels.

Perhaps this is due to “generational social media damage” ..or “pressure for unlimited growth on a finite planet” ..or “planned obsolescence in the age of idiocracy” – who knows…

..the net result is products that only care about unboxing, not deep dive… ..that don’t age well… ..that break when the app no longer update or the cloud is retired…

( all of this somehow seem to be ok – in my book it’s criminal )

..lack of loyalty for others – along with a pervasive arrogant disregard for the planet and every living thing on it.

In light of this…how can there be inclusivity and care for any outliers 🙂

This is true not just for software – it is increasingly hard to buy a physical item that last more than 5yrs. It makes little sense to stay in a job more than 2yrs.

That said… ..it has never been a better time to create new software / services / products – never been easier to design, create and scale experiences – virtual or physical.

So… ..if there seems to be no alternative, perhaps a great time to make one 🙂

Increasingly – I find myself designing rules of engagement – to get the best – and avoid the worst – of the new…to cope with the onslaught…

..because there’s only one thing that do not change and that is change itself.
