Lightness

Lighter is an Upgrade

If you want to upgrade your stuff, consider, the best “upgrade” isn’t something that is necessarily more powerful or capable, yet something that is lighter. For example, upgrading your iPhone to an iPhone mini is actually an upgrade, getting an iPhone Pro which is heavier is a downgrade.

When you want to purchase new things, new clothes, new shoes, etc., the best thing to read in the technical specifications is the product weight.

He ironically with coffee: I’ve discovered the best upgrade for a coffee cup or coffee mug is the lightest one.

My interest and passion in titanium

One of the pieces of technology which has certainly served me best for my prescription eyeglasses. Without them I literally cannot see anything. My current lenses are the most expensive ”Crizal” branded prescription lenses that I got while in Mexico City, and they opted for the most expensive, thinnest, and lightest lenses. Also the titanium frame LINDBERG glasses frames that I got while in Mumbai India almost a decade ago have still held up well. The best thing I tell people when I show them my glasses is it to tell people to observe how light they are. Heavy is bad.

What should Apple engineers be doing?

I say instead of making computers more powerful, honestly, most people don’t need all that computing power, is to make the devices lighter, and thinner. How is it that almost a decade after Steve Jobs has died, the MacBook Air hasn’t got any thinner or lighter?
