While reading Christopher's response and comments on David's blog post,
something struck me.
Could David's and Curtis' views on the iPhone be, to some degree, age
related.
Seemingly, Curtis Chong has been around forever. I may be exaggerating a
bit, but I recall, as a teen in the 1960s, reading the Braille Monitor and
believe Chong's name regularly appeared there.
Now, to my point, I am in my early 60s; and my perspective on adapt ive
technology has changed over the years.
I used to get excited by new things and was eager to try and use them all.
Now, I'm at the point that I almost don't care and am not really all that
interested especially if it requires
much much of a learning curve.
I am suggesting that perhaps Curtis Chong's views may be somewhat in that
line or he is thinking on how the average non-techie will respond to these
products.
I may be all wet on this; but perhaps the differing perspectives of David
Goldfield and Curtis Chong may at least in part have this at their root.
Kindness has converted more sinners than zeal, eloquence, or learning.
