Starved of simplicity

We used to write a word or two into an address bar, add ‘.com’, and hit enter.

Then we typed a few more words into a search bar, hit enter, and browsed for what we wanted.

Now we type many words into a dialog box, hit enter, and prompt our way to the information we wanted.

We don’t want more complex answers, but the amount of input required of us keeps going up.

As the world gets more complex, maybe it’s not worth trying to get complex with it.

Maybe it’s worth looking for simplicity and focus.

Maybe that’s worth more as the world becomes increasingly starved of it.
