Cell Phones Getting Too Small - Part II
from the wacky-people dept
Back in June we had an article about people complaining that cell phones were getting too small. Now the LA Times has a similar story talking about how not just cell phones, but all sorts of digital gadgets are getting to be too small. I still think most of these people are crazy. However, it does make some good points about devices getting so small that the designers have made them less functional or less easy to use. However, if they remain functional, then smaller is always going to be better for me - simply for the issue of carrying around the damn thing. The problem isn't the size of the device, but the fact that whoever designed the user interface did a bad job. As for phones, I still want the phone that Ben Stiller used in Zoolander (google image search failed to find me a good picture of it).
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
