Wait. Is that photo "The Haystack" what "Haystack Rock" is named after?

Their time would be better spent not on social networks. But I guess if this is where we are going as a society, it's better to have the protections and limitations in place for this age group.
Think about what you want out of a UX designer to make your work better.
What is their design process like? Do they involve engineering early on to be a part of the process? Do they have experience writing creative briefs or contributing to engineering design docs? What do their deliverables look like? Do they love prototyping with real data? Will they push you (FE) to go above and beyond on the projects you work on. And the other way around, how do they work around roadblocks like infra constraints and spaghetti code when they cant get their initial design vision built?
There are more questions you can ask, but again, you want to be trying to find out if you will enjoy working with them as a partner and not someone who just throws designs over a wall and is inflexible on engineering constraints.
Another thing Japan had before the US was texting on your phone. I was living in Japan at the time and recall telling my American friend who worked as a Manager at ATT about texting and she thought it was the dumbest thing she had ever heard of.
Hopefully where I work doesn't try to pull this off. At least my manager would not like it one bit seeing as their commute is already 50 min one way 2 to 3 times a week. But who am I kidding, it will probably happen and then I get to sit on video calls in the office with all the people I collaborate with across the states and europe.
