Despite being a heavy cell phone user for more than 25 years, it only recently occurred to me that vertical navigation on most phones is inverted when compared to traditional computers. You swipe down to navigate upward, and up to navigate downward. I recently spent time using a MacBook, which apparently defaults to this "natural" scrolling (mobile-style), and I was completely thrown off by it.
I've been using natural scrolling on a couple of my own desktops ever since, mostly as a mental exercise, and I wondered...how many of you folks prefer this method?
Seems to be a common thing in the UX design world to give your ideas very humanist or comfy sounding names. I get the intention to make change sound less threatening but it gives off very cult-like vibes to me.
But I ain't a designer by any means, I looked into abit of UX design/philosophy and was turned off by all the buzzwords and seeming lack of discussion around what users actually want.
