When it comes to technology, newer is almost always better. And despite the high price, many people willingly part with their hard-earned money to get their hands on the newest and most high-tech gadget sold in the market today. It is a phenomenon we see time and again especially when there are new models released by the big tech players like the ones selling smartphones. Every year, you are tempted to upgrade your existing unit for a shinier, sleeker, and more efficient device that can do loads of functions. However, it is not always about the outside, a gadget’s interior a.k.a. its software is just as important to the entire user experience. After all, once you are done obsessing over what your device looks like, you’re left with the dilemma of having of using if for the entire time it remains functional or appealing to you. Software plays a very big part in any technology past or present. It’s basically the very thing that powers your device, whatever it may be. This is especially true among newer gadgets that screams smart. In as much as we like the different perks offered by various hardware, the competition takes on a different path once the software is in place. Imagine why the cellular phone global mogul back then, Nokia, disappeared from the market when virtually almost everybody owned a Nokia handset back then. Around that time, promise of smart technology is already palpable in the horizon and Apple has started to unveil its first ever smart device that will forever change the tech market. Hence, it is the reason why we put so much value on software because it can make or break your business, or even life.

Unlike the software application issues experienced in decades past, what we are facing now is a design crisis. Just what does that mean? Design can’t keep up with all the applications it is supporting. While it has still its limitations, this is a pot of gold for designers as the demand for their services are soaring now that most brands realize how a good design can elevate their brand to even greater heights.

While we revel in technology and all the great things it has given us, it has also dehumanized us in a way, which is why certain software changes can help us maintain our humanity without compromising efficiency and effectiveness. Of course, we can only pray and wish for that to happen but there’s nothing wrong in hoping. Once we are able to fully meet both innovations we want when it comes to software features and performance while at the same time ensuring we stay grounded as people, that’s perhaps when we can say that we are doing great in terms of software development. We enjoy these tech advancements but we can tell we are not yet there, so let’s try to be more patient as innovators figure out how to solve many tech mysteries that still elude our understanding as of today.
