Maximizing the attention we pay apps allows the app’s owners to better sell their “real estate" to advertisers. Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS operating systems for today’s smartphones now have an added feature around “digital health". I don’t believe these “digital health" tools are used much in real life, but they represent an important admission by manufacturers that too much time spent on a screen isn’t good. While trawling the internet on my phone last week, I came across an interesting concept: the “reliance endgame". It has now been reshaped into the front-end to increase profits in the online world, where unbridled capitalism still exists.
