In court the other day, my adversary was showing me a
document on her ipad and we got to talking about our home screens. With the
prevalence of “smart phones” these days, everyone’s device is populating with
all kinds of apps to supposedly help us manage our workflow and be able to do
more tasks on our phones.
For my adversary’s ipad, it was interesting to see that her
home screen seemed to be the untouched initial layout that comes with your
device. When we began talking, I asked her why she hasn’t moved apps around or
organized them in a different fashion. She told me that she simply got used to
having them where they are and never saw the need to move anything from its
original location.
For me, a lot of times when I need to access an app, I
simply pull down and use Spotlight to search for what I need (including for
contacts and other items that aren’t apps). While I like to think that my apps
are all organized into a logical progression, I’m not so sure that they are.
Just when I thought I had given too much thought to my topic, I came across the
Mac Power Users podcast and their November 30 edition where they discussedtheir iphone home screens.
I don't think I ever put that much thought into how my screens are organized or what my background image says about me. But now, I am wondering whether the layout I use makes any sense
for someone who isn’t me…
