Why does this remind me of the 'Instant On' TV sets made back in the days or Cathode Ray Picture Tubes? It was a dumb idea then. It is a dumb idea now.
I can see the parallels. Instant On/Quick On was basically such that the TV would power when "off" in order to keep the CRT itself "preheated" so that when turned on, you got a picture pretty much right away. Don't see how it was necessarily a dumb idea. If anything, the main problem- aside from power usage concerns- was that televisions typically didn't have a "real" power switch to turn that feature off.
That said, I'm not entirely sure what you actually get from something like this. It seems like it would only be of particular use to those addicted to social media or workaholics.
One oddity I noticed is that, in the article the writer says "always being connected just feels like the most natural, safe and
secure way to work with teams and be creative." Which seems weird. being always connected to the internet seems like it would be inherently *less* secure. on what planet does it not? Or are they comparing it to using public wifi?
