@monkbent It's like Kierkegaard on faith: every generation must work it out for itself anew. There's never a headstart.

@monkbent The plain white iOS 7 look says "this is for typing," which is far from the same thing. -
@jaredsinclair there is far too much "computeriess" in everything lately -
@monkbent Absolutely. You can't quantify the warm, evocative experience of iOS 1-6. But it's hard to imagine iOS being successful w/out it. -
@jaredsinclair read Jobs' quotes again in my last piece. Exactly what he was saying. -
@monkbent The same ascetic Jobs from the old photo, cross-legged, in a nearly empty room, just a lamp and a stereo. It's not about taste.

@monkbent Feels like iOS 7 went too far, but not so far that Apple can’t course correct in iOS 8. Look at all the great 3rd party iOS 7 appsThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@monkbent my wife, who has used iOS for years, asked me for a tutorial on the new Photos.app. Definitely some challenges to address in iOS 8 -
@drbarnard@monkbent I find iOS 6 photos harder to use. iOS 7 is also easier to use with VoiceOver.

@monkbent indeed. But people do understand touch UIs better now than in ‘07. iOS 6’s level of intuitiveness is a bit redundant today.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
