Is the screen going away? Nico thinks that's the wrong question.
On Tuesday's show my co-host Nico Lafakis used Blockbuster to make the point. If it were still around, he'd go "once a month or something like that," but "for the nostalgia." He wouldn't be there "because that's the way in which I want to go rent my movies."
People keep asking him whether the UI (the screens we click through) is going away. His answer: "No, it's not. It's not that the UI is going away. It's that the user is going away."
If you build or run anything people log in to, it's a short, memorable way to think about how their habits could shift.
