### *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.

Smart Jewelry Lets You Feel Your Partner’s Touch from Anywhere

Have you ever dreamt of receiving a caress from your partner who lives many miles away, maybe over the Internet?

Well, now you can, thanks to Hey Bracelet and Hey Touch, two innovative wearable devices that use the power of haptic technology to make people feel closer together.

The Hey bracelet lets your partner ‘squeeze’ your wrist from anywhere

This unique piece of jewelry, available in both white/rose gold and anthracite/black, entered the market thanks to a Kickstarter campaign in 2017.

It looks like a stylish wrist clock, but it is much more: its “face” is equipped with powerful sensors and a sophisticated mechanism that recreates a gentle squeeze on the wearer’s wrist.

According to the FAQ on Hey’s website, this sensation of pressure feels like “someone gently squeezing your wrist with thumb and index finger.”

Hey comes as a set of two bracelets: one for you, and one for your favorite person. The two bracelets can connect with each other through an Internet connection and a dedicated smartphone app, available for both Android and iOS devices. In addition, a stable connection with any smartphone is ensured by the Bluetooth Low Energy module, embedded in the wearable device.

There is no limit to the distance between the sender’s bracelet and the receiver’s one, but the Hey wearable gadget should stay within 5 meters from the paired phone. Also, every bracelet can only connect with another one, in a way that creates an intimate, exclusive connection between two people.

Made out of high-quality ABS plastic and silicone, the Hey bracelet is waterproof, and has a durable rechargeable battery that lasts up to two days with a single two-hour charge.

Hey Touch, a hi-tech piece of jewelry

Designed to be worn as a necklace pendant, a bracelet charm, or a decorative pin, the Hey Touch comes in three stylish colors: white, rose, and black.

However, beauty isn’t its only feature: it comes with the same advanced haptic technology as the Hey bracelet, and it’s capable of making a long-distance couple feel closer with realistic tactile sensations.

Like for the bracelet, both lovers need to install the dedicated app and connect their wearable device to their smartphone over Bluetooth. Then, the two pendants will be able to communicate with each other through an Internet connection.

The Hey Touch can send and receive up to 200 different touch sensations and, unlike the bracelet, it can connect to multiple loved ones you want to be more intimate with. Lastly, its multicolor LED light lets you know at a glance who is sending you the virtual caress.

This unique piece of hi-tech jewelry is still in the pre-order phase, and it will start shipping very soon in summer 2019.

The Hey app, a safe place for couples to be intimate together

The Hey app isn’t just for connecting your smartphone to the wearable device of your choice. At the opposite, it has many romantic and innovative features, specifically targeted to long-distance couples.

For example, you can use it to send “secret” photos, that can only be unlocked with a paired Hey Touch device.

You can also create customized touch patterns to send to your partner’s pendant, and track the virtual caresses you sent and received. Lastly, the stylish interface can show how many days you and your significant other have spent apart, and how many miles there are between you.

The team behind Hey

In close collaboration with Gijs Huisman, expert of Social Touch Technology at the University of Twente, he found a way to send loving touch from hundreds of miles away.

“Current academic research has investigated the use of technology for providing people with a sense of social touch at a distance,” said Huisman on the project’s Kickstarter page.

“Such technology has been found to produce effects that are comparable with actual social touch in certain situations, and may therefore be a valuable addition to communication at a distance.”

Together with the entrepreneur David van Brakel, van Rossem launched the company House of Haptics, that now sells the Hey smart devices to long-distance couples and families in Europe, USA, and Canada.
