everything to be a toddlers interface in 10 years that's enormously infuriating and useless
No need to wait 10 years, you've just described what we have now. Sure, it'll be worse in 10 years, but what we have now is already so simple that toddlers do use smartphones.
What's infuriating is that there is no pro- or power-user version. I'd pay AU$1200 for the device you described above but not for a flagship smartphone from Gooapple.
don't know if you'll see this ... but I think that part of the reason that we don't have this is because nobody has made it "sexy" enough.
I think we've conflated user desires in things like the iphone as the clever marketing from Apple Inc. I think the effect of their marketing really eclipsed the quality and features of their product line and we've drawn a false equivalency that the methodology of their product line is what consumers actually want.
I have no empirical evidence to support this wacky theory however and I remiss that it's likely 80% wishful thinking.
