So when someone calls you and you miss it, you want them to send an email (in your world that would mean them going to a laptop to send the email since email on the phone sucks), then you don't get the message until you go grab your laptop and read it from there? Sounds efficient.
OR, why don't they just send the 3 word voicemail subject over text? Wait, nevermind....you turned off texting because it's texting.
Me (recently): *gets message from daughter that she needs a copy of birth certificate sent to pole vaulting camp*
Scenario 1: grab my phone, head inside, grab birth certificate, scan as PDF through camera app, attaches immediately to new email, uses thumb-hold to copy email address and paste, types a brief but cordial note within the body of the email, hit send. Total time ~2 minutes.
Scenario 2 - the "Zorba Approved Method" - head inside, grab birth certificate, fire up the printer/scanner, open scanner software, walk over to printer, put document on tray, hit "scan", wait for it to scan and load, save scan to desktop, open up email, click "new" email, attach document, type brief but cordial note within the body of the email, hit send... Spends the next 15 minutes thinking about how smooth and comforting the keys felt under my fingers. Spends the next 25 minutes internalizing to myself that this was much more convenient with a remarkably better user interface. Spend the next 30 seconds yelling "FUCK!", after realizing I forgot about my doctor's appointment, wishing there was a device that was always with me that could keep track of appointments and have a calendar function
You seriously expect me to use a smartphone when I can use this?:
Yes...
For one, that's the most uncomfortable looking workspace I've seen in a long ass time.
But also for the same reason I don't use a sledgehammer to hang a picture
I work from home but even still, I'm not always in front of my computer (not that I want to be!). I sure as hell don't want to have to wake up my computer just to sent a 15 second email to confirm something. That's the antithesis of convenience and "UI".
