The Arc of Apps

Re: The Arc of Apps

I find that many if not most Apps are a solution in search of a problem. Once the neato factor wears off you realize they really are just not all that useful. I do use a few for work( electrical calculations) that work really well and are exactly what an app should be. But I have to admit I probably only use 20% of my apps on a regular basis. But the ones I use are really very useful. Not just games or advertising marketed as social media.

Just like many drugs and government programs

But without the consequences. App saturation seems more typical of new gizmo overplay, that inevitably self-regulates, meaning in our world (as noted above), the most useful are gobbled up by the monopolies while the rest die like flies.
