Put a Slot Machine In a Billion Pockets

Here’s the unfortunate truth — several billion people have a slot machine their pocket:  

  • When we pull our phone out of our pocket, we’re playing a slot machine to see what notifications we got. 
  • When we pull to refresh our email, we’re playing a slot machine to see what new email we got. 
  • When we swipe down our finger to scroll the Instagram feed, we’re playing a slot machine to see what photo comes next. 
  • When we swipe faces left/right on dating apps like Tinder, we’re playing a slot machine to see if we got a match. 
  • When we tap the # of red notifications, we’re playing a slot machine to what’s underneath.
