What are the modern design trends you hate most? Feel free to rant! Mine are:
- Physical buttons are out of fashion, now EVERYTHING must have a touch screen instead! Especially if it makes the appliance more inconvenient to use. Like having to press a flimsy touch screen ten times to scroll through a washing machine’s programs instead of just turning a physical knob and pressing a physical start button.
- Every website looks like it’s made for a phone and was vomited by the same app in slightly different flavors of vomit.
- Actually EVERYTHING looks like it’s made for a phone… Like what’s the deal with all those hamburger menus on DESKTOP apps? Please just put a regular menu and same me some pointless clicking, it’s not like you’re lacking screen space. I especially hate that those menus can’t be opened from the keyboard like regular menus.
Fast food restaurants looking generic is on purpose.
There’s value in owning a property. That value is a lot lower if it’s something like McDonald’s kid-theme restaurant, or the classic Pizza Hut building.
If you got a generic modern building, it can be used for anything and sold with ease.
I recognize this point every time I drive by one of the old, now-closed Sherri’s restaurants.
They didn’t say, “I have no idea why”, they said it’s soulless and annoying. Capitalism truly produces garbage. It doesn’t matter that there is a reason for bad decisions. They’re still bad decisions.
