I am routinely surprised how many people I know don't even think to open a web browser and try to do the thing they want to do.

They go straight for the app store or trustingly scan whatever QR code they find. There is not even a whiff of awareness or caution.

#AppFatigue IPA: /æp/ /fəˈtiːɡ/ (n) The tendency to NOT install new apps on your mobile phone because you finally understand that most apps should just be a website so you can seamlessly use a service on a PC, laptop, tablet or mobile device. Also a sign of distrust as apps are black boxes with access to a lot of data sources that invade your privacy in ways you can hardly quantify.
