David Petree designed dozens of successful apps and made millions doing it. But he has regrets. As he watched smartphone users weaving down the avenues, walking in front of buses like zombies, he could only think --- I got rich while the world got stupid. Determined to find out how much damage he’d caused, Petree developed How Stupid Can You Get, an app that will calculate your functioning IQ by monitoring all the other apps and functions of your mobile device. Play Tetris during business hours ,bad; Play Fruit Ninja, worse; Owning the Sudoku Pro app will raise your IQ several points. That app that makes those farting noises will erase your gain in one felt finger tap. Sexting at any time will land you in apps’ lowest category--- the Brett Favre. Petree’s hope was that by point out what morons we are with our phones that we’d use them more wisely. So how is it working out? “It’s a disaster”, says Petree. “After six weeks of heavy sales and hundreds of thousands of downloads, people are taking How Stupid Can You Get as some sort of challenge, forming online moron clubs, and posting record low scores on their Facebook pages. It’s my fault, how do I feel about that? I feel like an idiot”.
注：
