A couple of days ago, over the EOL of Android post, I can't recall it's actual title, I commented that Android was EOL with me after trying it for the third time. I got several downvotes. Maybe I wasn't clear so let me say this: I tried android when it was new and its UI was not clear and unpleasant. I went back to iPhone iOS of whatever it was back then. Time passed and I tried it again with similar results; back to iPhone/iOS. Then I wanted something new but tried Android again and it was, again, bad. But instead of going to iPhone, I went for Windows Phone and really enjoyed it. Time passed and I could see that it was failing and when my bank stopped their support I knew I had to leave it for... iPhone. This is present day. So now, my shared name for my phone is "I'm a sheep it's an iPhone". This should tell you my feelings.
End-the-end I do look forward to "what's next" but it can't come soon enough. I should add I did try webOS early on say 2012 I think and it was a gem. Golden. But when they did that splashy, live dev even in SD and they didn't give the attendees a free phone to develop on, I knew it too was over.
Well, until the next thing comes along I'll just be with the best there is to date and that's Apple's iPhone.
From the PDF comes: "Apollo gains a measure of simplicity from features simple both in design and operation, complex in design but simple to operate, or simple by being passive in function. The concept of simple design and simple operation is best illustrated by the Apollo rocket-propulsion systems (fig. 2-2)."
As I could not reach the site.
Secondly and related, I'd do a quick study of every single bit of general tech around you as for how long it's been in use. This will open your eyes to what has been and ready for what is coming. Mentally track how long this and that has been in play—you'll be surprised and more importantly, you'll see opportunities. Go!
