Having to keep your finger pressed to a small screen while you’re told you’re going "too fast” or “too slow" is not terribly relaxing. I really like the idea of the blob, but I think an iPhone is too small an interface for this to have it’s intended effects, and the commands are too strict. Contact should not be mandatory. Ultimately you end up staring at your phone like one already does all day, focusing on having to force your finger to remain in contact with a device that’s not exactly a signifier of peacefulness or mindfulness… I felt like I was worshipping a smart phone.
