90% of the features in your daily life started as something no one asked for or needed. I remember people saying this about touch screens.

In some applications, people still say that about touch screens and they are not wrong.

Spatial Audio can be cool. In this application? I’m unconvinced.

Fucking touchscreens on cars is definitely something nobody should have access to.

I totally wouldn’t be surprised if there originally were people being like “So what’s this so-called ‘cupboard’ supposed to solve? Why isn’t a regular shelf good enough for you?”

Was anyone asking for the telegraph before it was invented? Or the telephone? Or the Internet? Or smartphones? Or social media?
