Web3 Day 152 : Web3 needs Form Factor Innovations to go mainstream
Many of my friends (founders and tech folks) are scared to touch Web3 wallets and dApps! They think too much work in learning, configuring, and safeguarding to get to play Web3 dApps, DeFi and almost all things in Web3.
These folks are hands-on developers, founders of large-scale B2B/B2C startups, and have 1 to 2 decades of experience building and using software products.
Did you know that there are 90 and 100 million technology professionals globally?
The total number of professionals working specifically in Web3 technologies will likely be 50,000 to 100,000. Source Comptia.
Should we not bring the immediate 100 million tech professionals to Web3 as users of various products rather than waiting for late adopters?
Why is that not happening? My thesis: Form Factor Innovation is a key driver for any new tech innovation to go mainstream.
In Web3, we have had several Form Factor Innovations in the last 24 months, and new products will soon attract billions of users!
Let me explain what I mean by Form Factor Innovation and provide examples.
Form Factor
Form factor is a hardware aspect that defines and prescribes the size, shape, and other physical of components. A form factor may represent a broad class of similarly sized components, or it may prescribe a specific standard. It may also define an entire system, as in a computer form factor.
Definition Source — Wikipedia
In the context of software, “form factor” refers to the software application’s design, structure, and user interface, as well as how users experience and interact with it across different devices and environments.
The form factor is important because it influences user experience, functionality, aesthetics, and device compatibility.
