Usefulness : they answer a previously unmet user need.
Usability : their digital UIs are easy to use.
Overall user experience : the quality of these user experiences extends far beyond the traditional “UX” touchpoints of simply a website and mobile app. (Thus, when I say ‘user experience’ in this article, I am referring to the whole experience — not...
