Summary | Various companies like Google and Amazon are coming up with new conversational commerce solutions, i.e. (voice command) chatbots with which one can conversationally make purchases online. Making payments via smartphone apps is very common in China while Switzerland is lagging behind. Some companies like Mastercard are already working on further ways to pay, namely by verbal cues. This means that people will only have to say it to secure the payment.

Summary | We spend 2.5 hours a day using our smartphones, and young people spend 3 hours a day. We look at our phones 88 times a day on average because the expectation of a message releases dopamin into our blood flow. The same mechanism causes gambling addiction with slot machines. We need to make an actual effort to make room for smartphone and internet free time in order to stay focused on the task at hand. Otherwise we run the risk of suffering from a ‘digital burnout’.
