Going grayscale in a world of color
by Justin W. Flory 16 Jun '18

16 Jun '18

Hi all, Since it came up before in IRC / Telegram, I thought I'd share a few links for reading. For the last couple of months, I've run my smartphone with a grayscale display. Part of this is because of the neuroscience research that exists about how color stimulates and guides our attention – something that a majority of tech companies in our daily lives also know and invest money into researching further. These are the two articles that motivated me to make the switch: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/12/technology/grayscale-phone.html https://blog.mozilla.org/internetcitizen/2018/02/13/grayscale/ One quote I liked: "Color and shape, these are the icebreakers when it comes to grabbing people’s attention, and attention is the new currency." Something for you all to think about. I hope everyone is getting a chance to enjoy this other part of the year, the part without snow. :-) -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com
