No one is getting mangled in machinery if I take 100ms longer to send a text message. There’s time to spare to actually enjoy the design.

911/112 calls are still made via phones, and I have to say that even making a simple phone call has, at times, become highly problematic on these new and very complex smart-phones.

With that said, my pants' pocket still manages to somehow initiate the "emergency call" procedure every couple of months or so, I have no idea how that happens (I don't even know how I'd do that with the phone placed in front of me).

Yep. I keep making accidental emergency calls too. Another interesting incident which happened only once:

I accidentally opened instagram, a group chat, and changed the background to bubbles or something like that, all with my phone in my pocket. I guess I put my phone into my pocket unlocked by accident because I can't imagine accidentally typing my PIN.

But what if animated and "playful" do not make the UI enjoyable?
