The small devices are small enough in size, they can hold vast amounts of data and the processing power is also great.
We do not need to think about how fast programs are nor if the data is compressed and all kinds of such constraints. Programs delivered are huge and ineffective and few people seem to notice nor complain. So how does that benefit our environments? J is smaller, lighter, faster, cheaper than before but is it more user friendly? Is that possibly the missing critical ingredient? There have been some efforts made making J more user friendly and easier to get into but I think we are not there yet. 2011/5/7 Dejun Guo <[email protected]> > IMHO, smaller, lighter, faster, cheaper, and user friendly make I-gadgets > overwhelming.
