All-day devices
Two notes come to mind from this excellent image from Luke Wroblewski:
- People are using devices at all times of the day. Remember the talk of people being connected to their job 24 hours a day with their 'Crackberry'? Now it's everyone that's online reading webpages, on their preferred social network, monitoring their commute, gaming, note taking, etc etc.
- Look at the variation in screen sizes. Gone are the days of only designing for a single size of website. If you're designing a website (or designed one in the past couple of years), if you didn't account for this you should probably read my post from a couple of weeks ago.....
Of course, it could also be argued that people are using their devices too much and it's hard to argue against it, however while I can confirm that I've personally used my device for all of the tasks highlighted in the image above, it's rare that all occur on the same day........
