### *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)

For decades, the semiconductor industry has been driven by the tenacious pursuit to double the number of components on a single die every two years. Motivated by simple economics, this unrelenting pursuit of density scaling fueled the exponential growth of the industry. As technology continues to scale, however, it is apparent that power dissipation and density limits are already slowing further improvements with CMOS, and the cost of full-custom design and manufacturing is becoming prohibitive. While there are various post-CMOS technology candidates, it is likely that future integrated systems will be based on a myriad of technologies that are packaged and/or stacked together. The combination of circuits and technologies will be determined by the target application, cost, and required performance.
Nanoscale magnetic devices, such as STT memory devices [see J.-G. Zhu, “Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory: The Path to Competitiveness and Scalability,” (Invited Paper) Proceedings of the IEEE, vol. 96, 11, pp. 1786-1798 (2008)], are particularly promising devices for on-chip non-volatile storage. These devices can provide a “disk-like” storage capability for an integrated system while operating at low power levels.

Nevertheless, as persons skilled in the art acknowledge, this goal has not yet been achieved. See, e.g., Bandyopadhyay, et al. (2009), p. 32 (“In this review, we have attempted to provide a synopsis of our current understanding of those spin-based logic devices, gates and architectures that have attracted the most attention in the engineering and applied physics community.
