### *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)

Loft Tour: KB's Wardrobe

Two weeks ago I shared a little tour of my workspace! It's definitely where I spend most of my time at home. However, there is a space in our little home that I love most of all. My wardrobe. When we moved into our loft we were sort of bummed about the lack of storage space (read: no closet). The gal who lived here before us had fashioned a few rickity shelves in the laundry room (which we use as a pantry/craft storage), but they weren't really useful. We have a huge white brick wall running the length of our loft and not enough furniture to put there so there was a huge area that just looked oddly open. That's when my step-dad suggested we hang chain from the rafters and make a swaying wardrobe. Genius! Mike and I high-tailed it straight to Lowe's to purchase industrial strength chain and 1" pipe. It was a labor of love but I couldn't be happier! Not only do I get a fully functional (and huge!) "closet", but it also serves as a decorative feature with all of the colors and patterns. The chains and pipe fit the industrial feel of our home, but the clothing fits my personality. The perfect combination! (Also, I'm totally one of those girls that If I can't see it, I won't wear it. So this works out so nicely!)

The white storage cubes are from Walmart. The tall ones are 2 of the 3-cubby stacking shelves (8 total), and the shoe racks at the bottom are just that. (The horizontal shelves tend to buckle in the middle though! As you can see, I'm sure!). I love being able to display my little collection of clothing in our home because it's definitely a collection I've worked at accumulating over the years. Since I only own dresses and cardigans/jackets, they fit really well. My belts are in the bathroom and my tights are in a drawer. Win/win! I think the swaying wardrobe was such a genius idea and it's almost my dream closet! It's a piece of this loft that I will want to take with me to absolutely every new home we have (but it'll probably be impossible.) I'm just going to enjoy it for as long as possible!

You'll be able to see more photos on Moorea's blog next week! Thanks for stopping by my space!

How do you store/organize your clothing? Are you a "all items turned one way, in a certain order" kinda gal? I am!)

oh wow that is the most amazing closet i have ever seen, i love how neat it all is, this makes mine look rather miniscule hehe i have 3 draws of clothes and thats it, i am rather impressed sweet, you look beautiful by the way :) xxx

Your closet is amazing! My closet is very organized. All my dresses on one side, in color order (red, orange, yellow, etc) with black in the front. The other side is shirts in the same way, with tank tops in the front so they don't get lost. :)Love and Turtledoves,Jacqueline

I love the idea of a saying closet and it looks amazing against the white brick wall! I am a little bit OCD in my closet as well, all color coordinated and sectioned by type of garment! Clean is better in my opinion!

Wow, I wish I had the space to do something like this! Since I moved back in with my parents until me and the boy can afford to renovate our new-to-us house, I'm living in a box. Literally. All I have for my clothes/shoes/accessories is two canvas wardrobes, one with a rail, the other with shelves. I can't wait to move into my new home and have a pretty closet!

Seriously though, it looks amazing. All those dresses and shoes? Heaven!!

I love this idea. I love the little glimpses into your apartment, too. It's the perfect way to store all your clothing-- and for sure, it is a collection!! You should show it off!:) Drooled a little over your shoes. Actually, a lot.

Your closet is to die for! I love how pleasing the layout is too. Definitely more like home decor than clothing storage.

As for me, I am totally the type of person that organizes all similar clothes together then within each section everything is organized by color and everything has to face the same way. I'm such a perfectionist sometimes.

ughhhh you're closet is so amazing it's not even FAIR! living in NYC I'm lucky if I have a single closet per room...I have clothes everywhere! Including a garment rack at my parents in New ENgland. Someday I wish to have one as greatly organized as this, and all in one place!

@ MeggieJ: Nope! I'm very very very lucky in that regard! G used to love shoes when she was a pup, but she grew out of it. Pip never cared for them! We keep their puppy play basket well stocked for this reason! haha

This is awesome, and perfect for you guys, since your style is such a part of your life. I've had to commandeer a room in my house to create and office/closet because the tiny closet for our bedroom is just big enough for my husband's clothes. I've gone a similar route with just getting almost everything out in the open so it's part of the decor and so I'll see it daily.

I love you closet idea! when I finally get a larger space that I can customize, I'll have to keep some of your strategies in mind. I'm definitely a more visual girl, so if I don't see it, I know I won't wear it!♥ laurathe blog of worldly delights

i'm so jealous of this. I just organize my closet my item. skirts, dresses, shirts, cardigans, sweatshirts, jackets. But it's still a complete mess because there's no storage in my parent's house and my room is very small haha

My dream is having a true dressing for my clothes but also for my man clothes... Our work space become a real one and it's very strange to work in a dressing !! We have a lot of dresses and shirts all around us... I mus do some photos one day !

I like to call myself organized, but I'm currently coveting your collection/organization. I keep my clothes bunched by type - sweaters, dresses, pants; and THEN by color. Gets tedious but makes things easier to find!

What an amazing space and everything is so nicely organized. I think you have motivated me to go revamp my closet!!! Can't wait to see more photos. Maybe you should do a post on a few of your most cherished pieces.

I love this!! :) heh little does my bf know when we buy a house (hopefully soon!!) I'm having my own room as a giant walk in wardrobe/office space just for me :) he can have the tv and playstion in the lounge I figure - win win!!

i don't like my current closet, but i love yours. i definitely turn all hangers one way and try to color coordinate my clothes. this closet looks really, really fun. i want to borrow all of your dresses...

I have about 5 or 6 dresses in my closet. everything else is my husbands . . he has 40 shirts lined up in there. (well a little more, i counted a couple weeks ago). I really don't have a lot of clothes and most of what I wear now is borrowed. I live out of a pair of shorts, a pair of jeans, and a few shirts each week and then those dresses I have. 3 of them need to be stitched up because they ripped. eek.

What an amazing closet! I love how everything is visible at a glance and that you are able to use your clothing as home decoration.

In my closet I have everything hanging in their own sections (dresses, tanks, t-shirts, skirts, and then business clothing) and within each section I have the clothing colour-coordinated. Within each section the clothing is in colour order and all of my clothing has to face the same way. I wish I could hang everything, but there simply is not enough room so I have two dressers and shelving for knits, jeans, workout wear, shorts, etc.

wow, this is amazing, i am immediatly doing this when i move out.i was thinking about it, and i thought perhaps you could put a shelf up above the hanging bit, get some foam heads and display your wigs. just an diea if you hadnt thought of it already :)also, words cannot describe how jealous i am of your dress collection. I am only up to 15 dresses, but it is a work in progress!.

ok so... I am lloking for a flat with my boyfriend. Yesterday I wanted a big bathroom and a balcony. Now I want a big bathroom, a balcony and a wall to build my closet like yours! hahaha I've never seen you wearing he JC Lita's in the firsts pics? the USA ones and the ones below them? I envy you! want them!!!
