[Stories] More integration of mobile #20
Comments
Thanks @sharronrush, this is indeed the question.

No, as I said this is not a strong view, only one that occurred to me when prompted by the question about how current the examples are. Nearly everyone uses mobile everyday and I was just struck by how infrequently it is mentioned here. I appreciate and share your concern about "noise" but might suggest a few ways to add a reference here and there without too much additional noise. For example:
These are just examples of how it might be made more realistic since i do think that everyone is using mobile these days. Thanks for considering and I am serious about it being for your discretion, I think this is a tremendously enlightening resource. |
I agree with this. Mobile is more and more prevalent (I know this is nothing new to our group) because it is easier and more intuitive to use. I think it is safe to say that the perception of mobile use is an inclination of a power user, which I believe is not the case anymore. My parents, who will only use mobile devices to access content do it because they don't have a desktop/laptop or know how to efficiently use a desktop/laptop. |
I do not disagree with any of what is being said. I also understand that this is a suggestion for editor's discretion but the editor needs more input to address this issue one way or the other. My concern is that, if we mention "mobile" in the story, then I think it should also be relevant. For example, "Mr Lee ... uses either a desktop computer or mobile device" (paraphrasing suggestion from @sharronrush above) would raise the expectation of the reader that they will also learn about how Mr Lee uses the mobile and any barriers he may encounter. This means adding more text to describe this, and cross-links. Or we risk disappointing the reader ("why mention mobile if they don't explain it any further?"). |
Decision during EOWG meeting on 31 March 2017: integrate some use of mobile along the lines of the suggestions above by @sharronrush. |
Implemented the following changes:
I'm not completely comfortable with these edits because I feel they tease the reader - start talking about mobile and get them curious in how someone with a disabilities uses a mobile device but then never really explain it. I would appreciate other perspectives on this. |
We had major changes to the stories between the start of this issue and now. Is this still relevant? |
Thanks all, this is sufficiently resolved. |
Priority: Medium
Editor's discretion
I appreciate how more mobile examples have been added but it feels like there are still some clear omissions. Realistically, nearly all of these users will use mobile to some extent. This is especially true in these cases:
I do not feel strongly about these suggestions but since the question is posed as how current the example are and given the ubiquitous use of mobile, it seems it could be mentioned more often.
