What “market”?
What I can tell you is that the market is definitely veering towards editing your post instead of posting again.
By market l mean the interface which is going to absorb excess labour and which is going to bring out further consumer items.
Okay… What do you mean by “veer towards ui/ux”? What connects these two concepts? Be more specific and concrete, give examples.
For example, right now I’m using a mobile phone. Any illiterate person in my country uses it. We use cash, and so we need to rush to ATMs frequently. Even for card swiping, there’s still ui. Then we’ve got ticket vending machines for train and for metro. We’re growing heavily dependent on machines. So, more and more people would get jobs in the development and maintenance of newer gadgets. This is what l had meant by the market veering towards ui/ux.
My brother is a teacher. He teaches french and Spanish. He’s self employed. Whereas many teachers in government schools have been laid off and many foreign language teachers were thrown out of their job, my brother recently joined a school as a part time teacher. He uses technology in his researches, in conducting his classes and also conducts classes online. He’s a user of technology only. Which means, if he cannot use a certain product, he’d simply switch onto something different which he finds more convenient to use.
So more and more developers would be needed. And it need not be the structure of a big organised corporation. Even individuals collaborating on GitHub or codeberg can create great products.
Are you asking whether there is a growing demand for people designing user interfaces and the user experience?
Well, yes… Also, newer gadgets are coming up in the market, so first user experience has to be considered, then comes the user interface. For example, now bus conductors are giving tickets from a hand held gadget.
Okay cool. You said A LOT of stuff and rambled around the topic and I don’t know why but you’re simply asking about what software development is going to look like in the future and whether there will be job opportunities. Yes, there will always be a demand for user interfaces as long as we’re using digital technology, obviously. Nobody knows whether there will be jobs in the field, it might all be AI starting next week.
Are you serious ?? Next week ??😳😳😳😳😳
In order to use something you need a user interface. could be a graphical one like chromium applications or could be a command interface like Curl
That sounds too technical. But even a very non technical person uses a mobile phone or maybe even a kiosk. Could that be UI too ??
You missed the point.
You asked if we are veering towards UI/UX.
Everything is a User Interface. The phone, the ATM, the web browser. Things that don’t have a user interface, don’t get used because how else will a user interface with it?
And people are gradually becoming users. I was amazed to learn that even blind people use computers. In this case, graphics is not important, but it’s still ui/ux, isn’t it ??
If you look into the series of my posts, l’d asked the same question in the no stupid questions community. There, the post was deleted because readers found it intensively stupid. But here, the amount of conversation seems to be growing because this actually concerns the employment pattern.
It was deleted because your question is incomprehensible as you posed it. I had to ask for clarification several times before seeing a glimpse of something that made sense and I’m still not ENTIRELY certain I know what you’re asking.
I’m sure some other user might put in something later on which adds to the perspective.
It’s a pity that humans don’t want to understand human language yet AI goes to just any extent to understand human speech.
Suppose if I say, Google is dominating the market, does that convey any meaning to you ? I ask because the meaning of the word market is still not clear.
Saying “Google” suggests the market that Google is in (tech, data, privacy violation) because what other Market would they be dominating? I inferred from OP’s answers that what they were referring to is the job market (but I can’t be certain).
You distinguish between the word market just as a computer would distinguish between a .txt and a .md file :)))))
