Mobility Still Behind for Blockchain

I was looking forward to trying some new things over the last week as I was traveling for both business and pleasure as I had posted last time, but ran into a number of CX issues along the way. In the past, I would always bring my laptop along for the ride to ensure I can remain connected to the markets while I was away from home. I also would remain engaging in the ecosystem despite being on the road as I mostly shared some experiences along the way. However, this time there was so much to do in little time that I wanted to focus on my experience with the family rather than be hostage to my computer while traveling.

I tried to prepare by using some applications and have some private keys around just in case but it was tough to find a good connection and even worse to find one that could be even close to reliable from a security aspect. Therefore, my experience was not as I expected as I could not post at all except my daily Actifit posts which the app is user friendly with. For my blogging, I found it impossible to upload pictures which really limited what I wanted to share. I also did not have much time in between activities so did not want to figure out using a browser on one of my devices for blogging and engaging.

This experience highlights the trouble of continued adoption around blockchain in general considering many users not being as technically savvy to try new things out. I prefer not to travel with my equipment so a better way needs to be built for us to engage easily. Despite the experience, there were a few bright spots. I was able to continue to consume content from the ecosystem by connecting with Ecency on my mobile device. It was good to see a good flow and responsiveness which did not entail signing transactions.

Also, I continued my Splinterlands grind while away as the new reward system makes it imperative to play daily to maximize opportunities for Collectors. I was able to complete ranked battles and my brawl battles without much issue through the browser. I tried with the mobile app but as we know, we are still awaiting some key updated for a better experience on that side. My administration side also fell behind with my delegations and rentals as my active key was well away from me for security purposes.

These are the growing pains of innovation and disruptive technology so I am not disappointed at all as I believe it is part of the cost of ultimately having more control of our assets. I am encouraged by the development that continues around the space despite the challenges of the markets as of late. I think that adoption will continue to grow and eventually create a digital revolution for assets around the universe as there will be little boundaries to grow. These episodes of challenges are just as necessary as the good times for the space to continue to grow.
