Convenience is a Product

What do you want?

If I ask, "What is the main thing you wish to get in your everyday life grinding?"
Will you answer it or get annoyed?

• Let me answer mine if I were asked what the main thing I want to get in my everyday life grindings is.

• My little kid in the inner consciousness may say, "I want everything to be easy."

In other words, it is a convenience that I want to get in every section of life.

Every company sells convenience as a product feature.

Selling a product by its convenience feature has been a trend since time immemorial.

• The top washing powder-selling company in your country promotes its products by saying that "Just use a couple of drops, or a spoonful" washing powder will magically clean all the specks of dirt from your clothes!

• In older days, there used to be made-easy books available in the market that promoted their bookselling by the phrase "Touch and Pass." They meant that the quality of their solved answers was so easy that students could conveniently learn and pass examinations.

• Now, social media companies will ask you to give your phone numbers for quick and convenient logging in.

• The fiat banks promote their mobile apps for fast and convenient access to all banking features.

• Many cryptocurrency wallet startups will ask you to run the application from their mobile apps to get actions more conveniently. Some wallet service providers will not bother to create web apps to access the wallets.

• The big tech corporations will sell their passwordless digital identity products for logging into all your online accounts with a convenient tap on your smartphone screen.

The examples of convenience selling are endless.

Convenience and quality of features don't go quite along well.

• When you concentrate on doing something conveniently, you somewhere compromise on the quality of the work done.

Take an example from the space of sport, such as football. FIFA Worldcup gives plenty of such examples. Are you watching highlights?

• Opportunity comes to those football teams to score the winning goals that continually work hard to enhance the quality of performance in game playing. Even if an opportunity comes, a convenience-only approach may spoil it and miss a positive yield.

In the domain of cybersecurity, convenience can result in a devastating catastrophe. The digital world is facing new data breaches almost every now and then.

• When a tech company advertises a security product by saying, "Our passwordless apps" are convenient and secure, they are no doubt hiding the truth about security.

The truth is: "convenience and security ability are inversely proportional."

A grownup adult inside my inner core always advises me not to adopt the convenience-only strategy.

• It is not very convenient to say, "I dislike convenience."

• Because taking a hard-working strategy is not an easy option.

But, all small steps of our life grinding can be taken one at a time. Then, we may succeed in choosing the more correct and tougher options.

• I haven't used any mobile app for banking transactions. I haven't created any mobile wallets yet. It is a bit old-fashioned in today's convenience-only world.

• I mostly access the Internet (ninety-nine percent) through desktops/laptops.

• I get frequent email ads from tech companies and social media giants to use the accounts on their mobile apps for better performance! It is funny to see those propaganda ads.

Social media giants and tech companies want users to install their mobile apps because then they can access users' mobile devices and harvest their private data.

Concluding remarks

The business world sells convenience as a product or service, be it books, educational or entertainment courses, computer hardware and software, password managers and other cybersecurity products, cryptocurrency wallets, content publishing sites, etc.

• It is up to the users' choice and strategy of how they want to use a product or service. If they want to embrace convenience only, they can go for it. Some people may prefer quality to quantity. They may choose the relatively more complex path of hard work and achieve quality.

In every domain, there remains an uncertain relationship between convenience and quality of work features. If you achieve convenience, you are likely to miss the quality features of the work. In reality, there should be a balance between the two, which is tough to maintain.

Interested readers may cross-check the famous Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle of physics, which says that one can't measure the position and velocity of an object strictly at the same time. The principle holds for any mutually related canonical variables.

What do you think?

You may now answer the initial question - "What is the main thing you wish to get in your everyday life grinding?"

If you decide not to write a comment, you may try to utter it inside your mind and answer yourself. At least, you can then get a chance to talk to yourself about the topic.

Postscript

People are silent about convenience!

It is implied that most of us like convenience over quality.
