### *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)

ABOUT THE FILM

This May Oscar® winning director George Miller, originator of the post-apocalyptic genre and mastermind behind the legendary “Mad Max” franchise, brings us “Mad Max: Fury Road,” a return to the world of the Road Warrior, Max Rockatansky. Haunted by his turbulent past, Mad Max believes the best way to survive is to wander alone. Nevertheless, he becomes swept up with a group fleeing across the Wasteland in a War Rig driven by an elite Imperator, Furiosa. They are escaping a Citadel tyrannized by the Immortan Joe, from whom something irreplaceable has been taken. Enraged, the Warlord marshals all his gangs and pursues the rebels ruthlessly in the high-octane Road War that follows. Starring Tom Hardy (“The Dark Knight Rises”), Oscar® winner Charlize Theron (“Monster,” “Prometheus”), Nicholas Hoult (“X-Men: Days of Future Past”), Hugh Keays-Byrne (“Mad Max,” “Sleeping Beauty”) and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (“Transformers: Dark of the Moon”).

Hutchison Whampoa, who owns Three UK, has reached an agreement with Telefonica, the company that own the UK arm of the O2 mobile network, to buy it outright.

The deal, worth £10.25bn will see Three become the largest network provider in the UK with an audience share of 41 per cent, its next closest rival being EE with 29 per cent.

The deal still has some way to go before being fully finalised, so you should expect to see changes in the High Street and your networks some time in late 2015 or early 2016, so there’s plenty of time for anyone worried about current contracts to decide whether to stay or go.

Android Lollipop brings a new feature that keeps your phone unlocked while it’s in your hand.

When you are trying to find your way around an unfamiliar area or are in the middle of a run it can be quite frustrating to have to repeatedly unlock your phone if you’ve only neglected it for a minute.

However, a new update on Android Lollipop should help you with that as you can now activate the on-body unlock feature, which keeps your phone unlocked as long as you’re holding it.

The feature uses the gyroscope inside the smartphone to recognise when you are holding it, rather than when it is in your pocket, and as long as you have the feature activated it won’t lock so you can flick it back on in a flash without having to type in your PIN or lock pattern.

Both Samsung and HTC have announced what date you’ll be able to get their new flagship devices.

The Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge will both be available to buy in the UK from 10 April. However, if you need to make sure you’re definitely going to be able to get one you can pre-order both on 20 March.

Pre-ordering has the added bonus of pushing the launch date forward by a day, so the keenest among you will receive your brand new smartphone on 9 April instead.

The price of the devices are still yet to be announced with just two days to go before you can buy them but we will keep you updated on that. Reports suggest that the S6 and S6 Edge may be around £599 and £699 respectively.
