In this entertaining and relatable video, two brothers experience the frustrations of downloading new apps and the consequences of not having them. They discuss the convenience and usability of apps, the abundance of apps on their phones, and the growing trend of relying on apps for everyday tasks. They also explore alternative solutions and find a balance between technology and simplicity. #appstruggle #fustratedwithapps #alternativesolutions #newtech

Some years ago, now, my teenage daughter introduced me to fairbairnfilms the TikTok/Instagram account of two Australian brothers who do quite amusing little skits on popular culture.
So why am I citing them here? Well, just recently, their skit was about their frustration with installing mobile apps and how everything there was a mobile app. It should be a web app. Perhaps I should email them and tell them exactly why. It’s generally amusing, if not entirely safe for work, given some of their expletives. I passed it around to folks I know in the industry all over the world, who all shared my amusement.
