The child who has never tasted his friendβs mumβs soup naturally thinks that his mumβs cooking tastes best.
This African proverb succinctly captures the conundrum faced by mobile gadgets or app users trying to adopt more functional apps.
Many new apps often come with enhanced functionality and simplicity. Also, in terms of cost/benefits advantages, many new apps could be relatively cheaper than their old versions or even alternative existing apps.
However, most people are disinclined to change their old apps.
Why is this so?
Adopting new gadgets, apps, and software always comes with additional costs in terms of time, money, and often, steep learning curves.
Moreover, frequently, new apps offer minimal advantages despite the extra time and expenses involved in adopting them. For these and other reasons, astute apps users are ever wary of the shiny object syndrome that comes with new app adoption.
