The Accidental Tech Podcast

00:00:00 ◼   ► I'm drinking tea tonight I think Diggnation [TS]

00:00:04 ◼   ► it's like if not I know it's not actually the nineties but that's like [TS]

00:00:08 ◼   ► the nineties equivalent of internetworld Diggnation yeah yeah so you guys really [TS]

00:00:16 ◼   ► mean casey you really honestly don't know Diggnation is or was I heard of it [TS]

00:00:20 ◼   ► but I never paid attention to it did you use a computer in 2006 [TS]

00:00:25 ◼   ► have we not already completely established that both of us myself [TS]

00:00:30 ◼   ► especially have no knowledge of anything that either view considers worthwhile I [TS]

00:00:35 ◼   ► guess but i mean you're you're least a nice guy [TS]

00:00:37 ◼   ► established it was like me and then you too and in another camp over there ya [TS]

00:00:43 ◼   ► dig nation was a podcast so let's talk about Facebook paper yeah I talked about [TS]

00:00:50 ◼   ► last week that was the start of a movie in the crash and all those bad things [TS]

00:00:53 ◼   ► and we talked for about the app itself but I haven't really used it for more [TS]

00:00:58 ◼   ► than a couple seconds so after podcast are some time in the past week I tried [TS]

00:01:03 ◼   ► to use it some are footing around doing stuff and it keeps interrupting me with [TS]

00:01:09 ◼   ► Mike video and audio instructions to tell me what I should do in any given [TS]

00:01:14 ◼   ► screen like it's bad enough when you get the coach marks you know like that like [TS]

00:01:17 ◼   ► the iPhoto style thing I would ever wear or sometimes on startup and sometimes at [TS]

00:01:20 ◼   ► the head of the bottom of the show sort of black magic marker kind of drawings [TS]

00:01:24 ◼   ► with arrows like someone wrote on your screen like it's a whiteboard and Comic [TS]

00:01:28 ◼   ► Sans text telling you like this is worse because its audio it's like you soon [TS]

00:01:34 ◼   ► you're trying to use your thing and someone starts talking to you in this [TS]

00:01:36 ◼   ► little animation come the screen swipe to the right to get to the next thing [TS]

00:01:40 ◼   ► it's like okay alright whenever you don't know what to do to make it going [TS]

00:01:44 ◼   ► is no excerpt presidency it's like do I have to do is telling me but eventually [TS]

00:01:49 ◼   ► goes away I'm like ok I'll tell you this I go to the next screen it says you can [TS]

00:01:52 ◼   ► move this up for like no stop talking to me stop its I know it's trying to be [TS]

00:01:57 ◼   ► helpful but now I think it's over the line of like it maybe some [TS]

00:02:02 ◼   ► would find a startup animation or movie interesting or charming for the very [TS]

00:02:06 ◼   ► first time you launch the app never see it again but if it's like this like a [TS]

00:02:09 ◼   ► pause is like now you get to use the app and you start using it and then it says [TS]

00:02:13 ◼   ► by the way I'm still here this disembodied voices animations and then [TS]

00:02:17 ◼   ► it goes away again and keep using the app and then you are in another new [TS]

00:02:20 ◼   ► screening nothing pops up that really really bothered me and I think that is [TS]

00:02:24 ◼   ► it's trying to be helpful but it's failing it's like the worst kind of help [TS]

00:02:29 ◼   ► if I had asked for that if I asked for a guided tour sure but if I'm just you [TS]

00:02:33 ◼   ► know if I think i've i've passed through the front door of the splash screen and [TS]

00:02:37 ◼   ► I'm really using the app and keeps interrupting me no good so I get a big [TS]

00:02:41 ◼   ► thumbs down [TS]

00:02:42 ◼   ► it seems like these I mean you know we're in this area now [TS]

00:02:47 ◼   ► of these very highly progressive experimental gesture-based interfaces [TS]

00:02:52 ◼   ► and so many apps really mostly on iOS let's be honest but you know so many iOS [TS]

00:02:57 ◼   ► apps and I kind of feel like you know gestural interfaces are are really [TS]

00:03:03 ◼   ► appealing to designers because they can look amazing they can be really cool [TS]

00:03:08 ◼   ► users who get used to them can love them but it's it's really really hard have [TS]

00:03:15 ◼   ► any kind of affordances that also look good and that that are discoverable and [TS]

00:03:20 ◼   ► so you end up needing things like this on any like you know people universally [TS]

00:03:27 ◼   ► I've heard people love paper this paper they're not the ideal of the other one [TS]

00:03:33 ◼   ► kind of in the lesson ever heard of but they love this one [TS]

00:03:37 ◼   ► the Facebook one and a lot of that is because it has this this like new [TS]

00:03:42 ◼   ► experimental you know progressive gestural interface but if you have to [TS]

00:03:47 ◼   ► tell people how to use it with these things like to me that that's just so [TS]

00:03:51 ◼   ► annoying its actual its actual failure of design really and I wonder like their [TS]

00:03:59 ◼   ► periods in in software fashion where you can point to really tacky things that [TS]

00:04:04 ◼   ► worked that kind of like where I conduct of that era like the flash inter [TS]

00:04:09 ◼   ► appeared on websites [TS]

00:04:10 ◼   ► you know or in this or clipe in Microsoft Office and I wonder if this [TS]

00:04:16 ◼   ► this is that thing for our current era is like that the stupid over later you [TS]

00:04:21 ◼   ► have to show a little tutorial videos a little little interest you have to show [TS]

00:04:25 ◼   ► on on gesture-based iOS apps because nobody could figure out of looking at [TS]

00:04:30 ◼   ► them what to do and I wonder if we're ever gonna move past that I mean this is [TS]

00:04:33 ◼   ► this is a big problem in all gesture-based interfaces because the NHS [TS]

00:04:39 ◼   ► a keyboard shortcuts gestures are are just as discoverable as keyboard [TS]

00:04:42 ◼   ► shortcuts for the most part actually in some laser little bit less but there's [TS]

00:04:47 ◼   ► no there's no list at least you can open the menu new can eventually some people [TS]

00:04:53 ◼   ► figure out the whole thing is next to the commands tell you the keeper target [TS]

00:04:56 ◼   ► anyway so you know I wonder I wonder if we're gonna move past this really and [TS]

00:05:02 ◼   ► and how long will it be until we look at an app like this that that is so like [TS]

00:05:08 ◼   ► you know to cleverly designed for its own could almost it it's so it's so [TS]

00:05:13 ◼   ► different from what we have both had before that it has to have all these [TS]

00:05:16 ◼   ► overlays and he's helped dialogues which we've seen in a paper for the last few [TS]

00:05:21 ◼   ► years but it just seems like a really bad hack it seems like a really terrible [TS]

00:05:25 ◼   ► design flaw to have to require these things [TS]

00:05:29 ◼   ► papers the first one to interrupt to me like I'm used to having it be something [TS]

00:05:34 ◼   ► you go through an initial launch or having to be something you asked for on [TS]

00:05:37 ◼   ► demand not used to thinking I'm through with that part of the first launch [TS]

00:05:41 ◼   ► experience proceeding to use the app and then having it come back [TS]

00:05:45 ◼   ► unprompted and say I've gotta tell you something else now and then have you go [TS]

00:05:49 ◼   ► away again and then having it come back like that it's it's not even so much the [TS]

00:05:53 ◼   ► audio and video that is great it's the if the idea that you're never free of it [TS]

00:05:57 ◼   ► like I know how long it goes on to say keep reminding you when does it decide [TS]

00:06:00 ◼   ► that I've that I know that you swipe up to do this thing or swipe left and right [TS]

00:06:03 ◼   ► to do that [TS]

00:06:04 ◼   ► think that that's terrible but for the gestural you eyes I think one of the [TS]

00:06:10 ◼   ► problems I don't think people really solves this is you really need to have [TS]

00:06:14 ◼   ► some kind of model doesn't necessarily have to be physical model but it has to [TS]

00:06:19 ◼   ► be a model that matches up with most of users mentally where [TS]

00:06:23 ◼   ► the motions being something can have some sort of connection and it's really [TS]

00:06:29 ◼   ► difficult to do that i mean you can see it in the border in paper and other apps [TS]

00:06:33 ◼   ► so paper like left and right is how you go through things and that's alright so [TS]

00:06:38 ◼   ► they lined up left to right to go from side to side that's that in itself is a [TS]

00:06:41 ◼   ► little weird because most of us use the vertical scrolling but it's growing but [TS]

00:06:44 ◼   ► I can handle that but then they have the thing we're like folds over itself when [TS]

00:06:47 ◼   ► you push upwards to see like if you want to see more on this limbo like this [TS]

00:06:51 ◼   ► little panel folds down and there's no sort of analog in real life certainly [TS]

00:06:55 ◼   ► not in the physical world and not many computer you eyes that would indicate to [TS]

00:06:58 ◼   ► you that that is a memorable motion for Argo push-up push down on that doesn't [TS]

00:07:02 ◼   ► that you really need to have some kind of connection to hang onto the only way [TS]

00:07:07 ◼   ► you can get away with not doing that is if it's that people use obsessively and [TS]

00:07:11 ◼   ► constantly and they'll just learning because I use it all the time and maybe [TS]

00:07:15 ◼   ► Facebook has that going for that people can use it all time and eventually those [TS]

00:07:17 ◼   ► motions but it becomes second nature kind of like your favorite Twitter app [TS]

00:07:20 ◼   ► everybody knows is which way slide to to see the conversation is in which way [TS]

00:07:25 ◼   ► slide 2 replies and it's different in different order after whichever one you [TS]

00:07:28 ◼   ► use all the time you get used to it but it really helps to have a physical model [TS]

00:07:33 ◼   ► kind of like the webOS cards metaphor or the the iOS 7 task switcher where you [TS]

00:07:40 ◼   ► can kind of envisioned them as individual entities that you can throw [TS]

00:07:43 ◼   ► off the screen or something like that some kind of thing to hang your hat on [TS]

00:07:46 ◼   ► his otherwise I imagine if every app was like paper I think eventually you get [TS]

00:07:50 ◼   ► confused and your thumb would be like oh I thought it was slight left but a slide [TS]

00:07:54 ◼   ► right and you don't have to think about an unconscious level and you like what [TS]

00:07:57 ◼   ► is slide up in this app is that show more detailers that get rid of this item [TS]

00:08:00 ◼   ► and how do I get back to where I was that slide to leftward I pulled down and [TS]

00:08:04 ◼   ► you only have a few access to work with and especially this whole screen grab [TS]

00:08:08 ◼   ► the whole thing gestures is this really you know it's everybody fighting over up [TS]

00:08:12 ◼   ► left right and down known as the guts to really do 45 degree angle 40 bucks the [TS]

00:08:17 ◼   ► rectangle but anyway no worries have the guts to do it specific angles but I mean [TS]

00:08:21 ◼   ► eventually maybe that's going to come it's gonna be a revolutionary new thing [TS]

00:08:23 ◼   ► not only can you fold it up and make some new panel come out and fold it down [TS]

00:08:26 ◼   ► to make it up over and pulled it left to right to make twisty slide but 45 that [TS]

00:08:30 ◼   ► folds up into little Swan and flies away [TS]

00:08:32 ◼   ► it's really difficult than I i wud contested since I use enough different [TS]

00:08:38 ◼   ► Twitter apps and app that net apps and everything that occasion I do flick [TS]

00:08:41 ◼   ► their own direction so I wanted reply but I got show conversation because it's [TS]

00:08:45 ◼   ► different in different apps and there's nothing particularly writer lefty about [TS]

00:08:49 ◼   ► show conversation in reply [TS]

00:08:50 ◼   ► you know physically speaking yeah what's this route metrics thing that one of you [TS]

00:08:57 ◼   ► added I glanced at this earlier and it actually very interesting but their [TS]

00:09:01 ◼   ► member on the last show I think I mentioned about Google like a project to [TS]

00:09:06 ◼   ► do with all its Android phones is it could measure the you know the signal [TS]

00:09:10 ◼   ► strength in the data throughput of various ISPs in the report that back to [TS]

00:09:14 ◼   ► Google so you have an idea of like if I live in his exact spot in this house and [TS]

00:09:21 ◼   ► I work in this building right here what service has the best throughput and the [TS]

00:09:25 ◼   ► best reliability and you know like that type of information as the only [TS]

00:09:29 ◼   ► information you can get if you have tons and tons of people all over the country [TS]

00:09:32 ◼   ► in various locations because you can't just have like one person each city you [TS]

00:09:36 ◼   ► really wanna know specific data and after mentioning the show someone whose [TS]

00:09:40 ◼   ► name I lost sorry sent me the URL this place called metrics and this is [TS]

00:09:45 ◼   ► apparently company and that's what they do they send people around to test the [TS]

00:09:49 ◼   ► connectivity various different ISPs from different places all over the United [TS]

00:09:55 ◼   ► States and I guess also the UK and they said they've driven over a hundred and [TS]

00:09:59 ◼   ► thirty-two thousand miles and done [TS]

00:10:01 ◼   ► 3.5 million tests you can look at their website its route metrics dot com [TS]

00:10:06 ◼   ► they're not a sponsor I read through their methodology and their claims that [TS]

00:10:10 ◼   ► it seems like they're doing it right [TS]

00:10:12 ◼   ► like the not affiliated with any network as far as I can tell if they are they're [TS]

00:10:14 ◼   ► hiding it very well and they they try to be objective [TS]

00:10:18 ◼   ► make sure they have enough samples to be statistically sound so apparently is a [TS]

00:10:24 ◼   ► good idea in someone's are you doing it so if you want to find out I guess you [TS]

00:10:27 ◼   ► go to this website I had exploded website enough to know is this an app I [TS]

00:10:30 ◼   ► downloaded a service I sign up for whatever it is it seems like they have a [TS]

00:10:35 ◼   ► nap so it says that they have driven actually 540,000 miles they've tested [TS]

00:10:42 ◼   ► 937 markets well I'm assuming that means they have done that but additionally you [TS]

00:10:47 ◼   ► can download their app into a test and I'm assuming that's how they aggregate [TS]

00:10:51 ◼   ► all of all of the consumer information like you were describing is that the [TS]

00:10:56 ◼   ► ideas all download this app ballroom all tests are reporting that I wanna meet in [TS]

00:11:00 ◼   ► C and they will add that to their database info and they point out the [TS]

00:11:05 ◼   ► things they don't do user surveys asking people how they think the conductivity [TS]

00:11:09 ◼   ► is because that would be terrible and they emphasized that they have people [TS]

00:11:13 ◼   ► look at the statistics and making sure that they've achieved a proper level [TS]

00:11:17 ◼   ► significance and all the goods from from the five minute I spend on the website [TS]

00:11:21 ◼   ► look it looked interesting I'm glad someone is doing that right next I had [TS]

00:11:27 ◼   ► this iPad pros listener Mike Z wrote in asking you know we were talking about [TS]

00:11:34 ◼   ► the iPad pro and moving towards needs of their people and everything else has to [TS]

00:11:38 ◼   ► get better and Mike Z said are you sure that usability is infinitely approval [TS]

00:11:43 ◼   ► one of computers including mobile platforms just aren't for everyone and I [TS]

00:11:49 ◼   ► thought this was worth considering because it we have faced a similar issue [TS]

00:11:53 ◼   ► with programming languages and programming in general where for a while [TS]

00:11:59 ◼   ► especially late nineties even before that really but for a while they were [TS]

00:12:03 ◼   ► these efforts to to bring programming to every computer user [TS]

00:12:06 ◼   ► you know everyone can be a programmer and there were these efforts to make [TS]

00:12:10 ◼   ► simpler in simpler languages added more and more stuff for you or you know had [TS]

00:12:14 ◼   ► experimental types of sin taxes and commands and and were were very simple [TS]

00:12:19 ◼   ► and really made for everyone and the reason why everyone isn't a programmer [TS]

00:12:25 ◼   ► today is not because the Lang design simple enough [TS]

00:12:29 ◼   ► it's because programming just conceptually programming is complicated [TS]

00:12:34 ◼   ► and even if you don't have to do that much to tell the computer what you are [TS]

00:12:39 ◼   ► trying to do you still have to deal with the reality of things like the computer [TS]

00:12:43 ◼   ► is not going to be able to really reliably guess if you don't tell it very [TS]

00:12:47 ◼   ► well or if you're ambiguous you know it doesn't really deal with that very well [TS]

00:12:51 ◼   ► or if you don't really necessarily know what you want or you tell it what you [TS]

00:12:55 ◼   ► want but that's actually not what you want because you didn't tell it [TS]

00:12:59 ◼   ► correctly it's all these problems that that make programming hard even for [TS]

00:13:03 ◼   ► those of us who know how to do it and so i think the reality that the conclusion [TS]

00:13:09 ◼   ► of those kinds of efforts is that you can make programming easier to a point [TS]

00:13:14 ◼   ► but after a certain point just the inherent nature of the inherent [TS]

00:13:20 ◼   ► complexity of doing a programming type task does keep a lot of people out of it [TS]

00:13:24 ◼   ► because they just can't think that way they can't do you think you think this [TS]

00:13:29 ◼   ► was a nineties phenomenon you should go to the four DL Wikipedia page and do [TS]

00:13:33 ◼   ► some reading back back from when I was frustrating about programming this is I [TS]

00:13:37 ◼   ► guess it goes in cycles like anything else but the other was for jails for the [TS]

00:13:40 ◼   ► big big thing and they were going to make it seid until the next yes you know [TS]

00:13:46 ◼   ► this is not yet this is not a new thing really but it seems like the kind of [TS]

00:13:51 ◼   ► died down in recent years as everyone's kind of realize that you know yeah sure [TS]

00:13:54 ◼   ► you're not perfect these days and there's there's always going to be [TS]

00:13:57 ◼   ► driven to improve programming languages but inherently programming is [TS]

00:14:03 ◼   ► complicated and there are these these concepts and realities involved with it [TS]

00:14:07 ◼   ► that no matter how easy make the language it still has a built-in degree [TS]

00:14:12 ◼   ► of complexity you can never fully get rid of so so you know back to my [TS]

00:14:16 ◼   ► question you know where does usability fall into this category you know you [TS]

00:14:20 ◼   ► know as he asks what of computers just aren't for everyone and I think that's a [TS]

00:14:26 ◼   ► really interesting point because we we see you know I've been trying for a [TS]

00:14:30 ◼   ► while now and the show we see issues that apples are into a tie less where [TS]

00:14:35 ◼   ► the realities of being a computing device get in the way of their pretty [TS]

00:14:39 ◼   ► abstractions things like you know we talked about storage space being [TS]

00:14:42 ◼   ► issue and managing photos and backups and stuff like that and how you can [TS]

00:14:46 ◼   ► assignment walls with that with iOS because they try to make it simpler and [TS]

00:14:50 ◼   ► better for everyone but then reality kicks in at some point and and and has a [TS]

00:14:54 ◼   ► problem with that [TS]

00:14:55 ◼   ► and computers inherently they are kind of complex and it and it doesn't really [TS]

00:15:02 ◼   ► matter you know even the Chromebook which uses its Web service for [TS]

00:15:05 ◼   ► everything even that has complexity because you're you're talking about you [TS]

00:15:11 ◼   ► talking about [TS]

00:15:12 ◼   ► complexity of data and having data having accounts that you log into or [TS]

00:15:18 ◼   ► data that you manage the concept of documents and files and where do you put [TS]

00:15:22 ◼   ► them where are they when you look for them how do you copy stuff move stuff [TS]

00:15:28 ◼   ► how do you manage things where the stuff backed up where it's backed up all of [TS]

00:15:32 ◼   ► these things I think are just inherent complexities of computers and even if [TS]

00:15:37 ◼   ► you have fantastic backup services cloud services cloud interfaces great great [TS]

00:15:43 ◼   ► interface design I think the reality you're still dealing with this is a [TS]

00:15:47 ◼   ► computer it does exactly you tell it to and no more for the most part and you [TS]

00:15:53 ◼   ► know if you tell it save this thing I just typed name at this it'll have that [TS]

00:15:58 ◼   ► if you can't remember anything anymore the name you're gonna have a hard time [TS]

00:16:01 ◼   ► finding it lets you browse more than a million things to browse through as [TS]

00:16:04 ◼   ► you've been doing this every single day for the last ten years like it's theirs [TS]

00:16:08 ◼   ► inherent complexity and just having data in a computing system and managing it in [TS]

00:16:13 ◼   ► some way no matter how good the system is so I think well there is tons of room [TS]

00:16:17 ◼   ► for improvement I think there is a ceiling and when we are we are we are [TS]

00:16:21 ◼   ► heading out already and I think we can kind of get you know logarithmically [TS]

00:16:26 ◼   ► closer to it but I think we're never going to asymptotically closer whatever [TS]

00:16:30 ◼   ► you know the asymptotes in math where to get closer to it but I don't think we [TS]

00:16:34 ◼   ► ever gonna really be able to break through the ceiling of you know there's [TS]

00:16:38 ◼   ► this inherent complexity with these things is a bogus question because he [TS]

00:16:42 ◼   ► starts off are we sure these abilities in Philly approval did any of us ever [TS]

00:16:46 ◼   ► say it was infinitely approval I don't think anyone said or implied that [TS]

00:16:49 ◼   ► that's a crazy thing it wasn't really improve both would result in the [TS]

00:16:52 ◼   ► technological destruction of the world because every single person on the [TS]

00:16:55 ◼   ► planet will be able to do everything that every computer game ball without [TS]

00:16:58 ◼   ► you know without any real effort think it think they can make it happen and [TS]

00:17:03 ◼   ► even just giving current technology that would destroy you know any hack into new [TS]

00:17:08 ◼   ► killer missile silos because they know that is something they want to do and [TS]

00:17:11 ◼   ► computers are infinitely infinitely usable but everything obviously but I [TS]

00:17:17 ◼   ► don't know if there is some sort of you know that some sort of inherent [TS]
