### *Example Input Text:*

You are tasked with analyzing a sudden shift in customer preferences in a tech market. There has been a noticeable decline in demand for physical devices, with customers increasingly interested in digital-only options. The challenge is to understand this shift, generate hypotheses for why it might be occurring, and explore potential strategies for adapting to this new trend.

---

### *Processed Output with System 1 and System 2 Thinking:*

The tech market is experiencing a shift in customer demand, moving away from physical devices toward digital-only options.

[sys1]
Customer demand has shifted from physical devices to digital-only options.
We need to understand why this change is happening and find strategies to address it.
Key factors may include cost, convenience, and technological trends.
[end sys1]

[sys2]
**2.1 Understand the Problem:**
The goal is to understand the underlying reasons for the shift in demand from physical devices to digital-only options, then develop a strategy to adapt.

*Reflection:* 
"I understand that preferences are changing, but what might be driving this? Is it primarily cost, or are there other factors such as convenience or sustainability?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Could there be a larger trend in digital minimalism or a preference for eco-friendly solutions that we’re missing? What unseen motivations might explain this shift?"

**2.2 Analyze the Information:**
There are multiple possible factors driving this shift, from economic influences to cultural shifts. It’s essential to isolate each factor and understand its impact.

*Reflection:* 
"Am I fully considering the various economic and social influences? Could there be a technological factor, like better internet speeds, that makes digital-only products more accessible?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Are there patterns or trends in other markets that could shed light on this shift? Could this be part of a larger trend toward virtual experiences?"

**2.3 Generate Hypotheses:**
1. Customers prefer digital options due to lower costs. (Confidence: 0.8, Creative: 0.4)
2. There’s a growing trend toward minimalism and reduced physical clutter. (Confidence: 0.7, Creative: 0.7)
3. Digital products offer greater flexibility and ease of use. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.6)
4. Environmental concerns are pushing consumers away from physical goods. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.8)
5. Advances in tech make digital-only options more functional. (Confidence: 0.8, Creative: 0.5)
6. Pandemic-era remote work increased demand for digital solutions. (Confidence: 0.7, Creative: 0.6)
7. Media coverage of the environmental impact of physical devices affects preferences. (Confidence: 0.5, Creative: 0.7)
8. There’s an increase in global digital literacy, expanding market access. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.6)
9. Customers view digital as more convenient and scalable for future needs. (Confidence: 0.7, Creative: 0.5)
10. Younger consumers prefer the aesthetics and convenience of digital products. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.6)

*Reflection:* 
"Have I considered all possible influences? Are there any surprising factors that could explain this shift?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Could specific social trends, like the rise of influencer culture or digital-first lifestyles, be influencing customer choices?"

**2.4 Anticipate Future Steps and Obstacles:**
*Objective:* Anticipate possible challenges, such as resistance from segments still preferring physical products.

*Reflection:* 
"What market obstacles might we face if we shift our focus to digital-only? Are there sub-segments that still prioritize physical products?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Could expanding digital options help us reach a more global audience? Are there emerging trends that we could leverage in our strategy?"

[end sys2]

[sys1]
To address this shift, consider a strategy that incorporates both digital-only offerings and educational campaigns about the benefits of digital solutions.
Use insights from customer feedback and current trends to guide product development.
Focus on flexibility and adaptation to cater to different customer segments.

1. The Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to user interface menus in computers and electronic devices and, more particularly, to methods, systems, and computer program products for controlling how contact information is provided to computer applications.
2. Background and Relevant Art
The term “contact,” as described herein, generally refers to any person, group, organization, business, household, or other type of identifiable entity. The term “contact information,” as defined herein, generally refers to any information that corresponds to a contact and that may be considered relevant for identifying, contacting, accessing, corresponding or communicating with the contact. In the context of the present application, contact information is used by an application to perform a desired function, such as, for example, sending an email, initiating a telephone call, accessing a website, initiating a gaming session, performing a financial transaction, and so forth. Non-limiting examples of contact information include names, aliases, telephone Me numbers, email addresses, home addresses, instant messaging (IM) addresses, and web addresses. Contact information can also refer to other types of information such as the status of a contact. For example, information indicating a contact is currently online, or on a telephone line may also be broadly considered as contact information.
Many applications require, access, transmit, or otherwise utilize contact information. Examples of some applications that utilize contact information include email applications, network gaming applications, instant messaging applications, telephone and telephony applications, Internet applications, financial applications, word processing applications, and business management applications.
Applications that utilize contact information typically provide interfaces or menus for entering desired contact information within one or more fields. For example, an email interface will typically include fields for receiving the email addresses of the intended email recipients. Contact information can also be gathered without the user's express knowledge. For example, with regard to the email application, contact information corresponding to the sender (i.e., the sender's name, email address, etc.) can be gathered behind the scenes, without requiring user input and sometimes even without the user's knowledge.
The contact information that is gathered by an application can then be published or otherwise used and sometimes without the user's express knowledge or consent. This can be very undesirable, particularly when the user has no intent for their contact information to be gathered at all.
Allowing applications to automatically gather contact information about a user can also be problematic, even when a user has provided implied or actual consent to the application to gather their information. For example, if a single computing system is shared by multiple people, the computing system may have access to different contact information for each of the people that share the computing system, thereby increasing the possibility that an application can obtain the wrong contact information for any particular person using the computing system at any particular time.
Yet another problem in the art is that existing applications typically do not expressly notify the user what the gathered contact information is going to be used for. This can make it difficult for a user to decide if they are willing to provide the requested contact information. Even if a user could eventually find such information by navigating to related web pages or to help menus that are associated with the application, this is undesirable, particularly if the user does not immediately know where to begin looking for such information. Accordingly, users typically have to make uninformed decisions about whether they want to provide their contact information or not.
Yet another problem in the art is that even if a user does consent to the gathering and use of their contact information, the computing system may not know which contact information to gather about a user. In particular, a user may have different sets of contact information or ‘personas’ that correspond to different environments in which they live. For example, a user may have a family persona, a school persona, a friends persona, a work persona, a recreational persona, and so forth, each corresponding to different aliases, addresses (e.g., physical/email), telephone numbers, and so forth. However, because an application may not know which information the user would prefer to have gathered, the wrong information may inadvertently be gathered and published or otherwise used by the application.
