Comment on On Infantilization in Digital Environments (2015)

Comments

An interesting article.

It seems to neglect the implications that UI infantilization has for trust between the user and what is being used. If the UI is presented as toy-like, and the user goes into play mode, how does this shape their willingness to trust the thing being used (and so, the company providing it).

I suspect that engendering trust in the user is a big motivator here these days.
