Some of the real tech-minded people like the idea of “thinking like a computer” in order to use one (likewise with the phones). They like fiddlling, many options, having to fix things (this or that), fiddling some more, and doing all sorts of tech-stuff to it. That’s the mentality of many ... “think like a computer” in order to use one.
On the other hand, much of the consumer public doesn’t want to “think like a computer” in order to use devices. They just want stuff set up and ready-to-go. Now, Apple has accommodated itself to the consumer way of thinking about these things, and has tried to take away that “think like a computer” and all the “fiddling” that techies like to do.
That’s one reason why Apple has captured such a large market for their products, these days ... they try to set things up for you so that you can just use them. That very way of thinking (of how Apple does it) is a “disaster” in a “techie’s mind” you see ... and they hate Apple for it.
I think it comes down to ... do you want to have to accommodate the machine, or do you want the machine to accommodate you? Apple tries to make it so that the machine accommodates you (and not all the “techie-fiddling” that techies do).
I have a relative who was given an Andriod phone device, and probably with good intentions ... but she can’t stand it, can’t use it and finds it terrible. I find it terrible, too ... in looking it over. Of course, I’ve been used to the Apple way of thinking of having the “machine accommodate you” ... since the first iPhone out there (and even before that).
Good luck with that terrible device ... maybe someday you’ll be able to get an iPhone, which will be an absolute joy to use!
Yeah, I want it easy and ready to go. I have a miniMac on my desk but am on my daughter’s family plan so the Samsung and monthly service are free to me. Gotta figure it out. She’s coming over tomorrow with “Samsung Galaxy5 for Dummies.” All this to make a phone call, send a text?
FACEPALM should be Galaxy5 logo.
