Interesting…. thought Wall-E has more emotion than some of the “enterprise” tech environment. I bet, you were thinking Terminator ;-)

PS: That was the best paragraph I read today.

Yes, the mental image that popped into my head was from Wall-E… a world that seems very empty and devoid of humanity where everything is built to a monstrous scale and exceedingly unwieldy.

We sometimes come into contact with this kind of feeling when we use a badly designed IVR phone system. It’s then when we realize that the corporation wraps itself in humans in order to pass itself off as human. The corporation itself is not human.

Humanize it!

As we become more “advanced”, we are becoming less human.

Businesses are racing to make product that are one size fits all.
Even though consumers are craving customized and individualized
products.

I guess it is as simple as [being more human] = [less money].
