I'm not sure how I got to thinking about this but I thought I would express it in a post.
Given the choice between having more of less and less of more, what would you chose? Of course we're speaking in general terms. When I first thought about this question I immediately thought of quality vs quantity.
More of less = pro-quantity
Less of more = pro-quality
This is simply saying that between the two, I would rather a really good thing (albeit a lesser amount) than a so-so thing but lots of it.
Sounds like common sense but on the day to day, I know that I succumb to the falsity that is more is better. More sometimes just means more. More crap to filter out. More noise, more fluff. The example I can think of as I write this is music collections. I have a music collection that encompasses the most random stuff. Stuff that I never listen to but since it was available at one point in time, I added it to my collection. Now when I play my music, I have to occasionally skip to the next song because I have no idea why LEN - Steal My Sunshine just started to play.
More and more things are coming out in today's market where more and more stuff is being packed into a single product. You can't find a cell phone that's just simply a cell phone anymore. But I'm sure you'll be able to find a text messaging, instant messaging, calendar-syncing, Bluetooth connected, picture messaging, push-to-talking, word processing, Wii controller-compatible, internet-enabled, wireless mousing, mp3 playing, Mini DV playing, HDTV quality, tax/bill paying, laundry doing, dinner making cell phone in the next few years.
Just something to think about...
