Making money with money is called finance. Simply put, it’s a money trade. However, the most crucial asset in a business that earns money is ‘time.’ Over time, money can grow into more money, whether through a return on investment or interest. So, what does time do? Time causes changes in value, shifting from low to high, and then back from high to low. Time is not equally valuable to everyone. It provides different returns for those who accurately estimate its worth and take action. The value of time varies from person to person, as each individual perceives it differently. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Design ethics is an essential field of study. You may wonder if ethics play a role in design, but they are crucial, particularly in terms of addiction. Slot machines, for example, are four times more addictive than other gambling games. This heightened addiction is mainly due to the variable rewards these games provide. Some designers view this addiction as a means to increase profits. A classic example is a screen with an infinite scroll function, which can lead to excessive time consumption. This occurs because the game’s rewards are unpredictable, and some designers tie this addiction directly to revenue generation. Therefore, ethical considerations are vital across all domains. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
