Attention and pain greatly influence customers’ willingness to pay. Nobody likes to wait. If customers search for products on an online store and receive instant results, they value it. But if they have to wait, it’s a different story. Showing a blank white screen causes customers to leave the site. However, if an animated circle indicates the connection is active, customers are more likely to wait. Additionally, displaying the search process, such as showing that results are being generated, helps customers wait more patiently. In fact, customers often wait with anticipation. Transparency helps ensure that customer interest remains positive and doesn’t turn into frustration. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
A Korean AI company developed a language-learning AI for a 5-year-old, splitting it into two systems: one displaying only children’s videos and the other showcasing YouTube videos. After two months of learning, the company was eager to assess the results. They found that children using YouTube, with fewer restrictions, had better language-learning outcomes than those who watched only children’s videos. This raised a thought in me: parents’ efforts to protect their children from certain influences may stem from an unreasonable desire. Striving for perfection can feel woefully inadequate in this world. Isn’t the essence of education about equipping individuals with the knowledge of right and wrong and guiding them to maintain their humanity? - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
