Dumbing down? I’d say, “abstracting” so the user can focus on a higher function. Same as with many other things in life and technology 🐶🐾🫡

> the dumbing down of the computer users

Not lower logic or human interface.

(More interesting of a statement maybe)

yeah but usually they're just following orders..

If you mean that the company they work for has evil goals and wants to create unconscious and stupid behaviors to achieve them, I agree.

yes

Interesting take 🤔

By what manner have computer users been “dumbed down” … by the products made or by the “way of thinking” propagated by UX specialists?

It is the reason total number of users exploded and with that the average went down. It is a trade off that improved the life of many. And the advanced users still have the choice to make and use non-dumbed down tools.

forever September?

Perhaps, then, a well designed UX can teach good things instead.

🤢 🤮

I believe centralisation is and the UX benefits came afterwards (and making everyone more dumb and lazy, because you self-thinking is reduced)

rude.

impressive that they managed to make it possible to use a computer with one thumb though ngl
