I have this idea for a great mobile app but have no idea how to create it. After doing some Internet research and learning a little about the process, I still needed more direction. I figured it might be helpful to check out books on the subject, so I headed to good ol’ smile.Amazon.com, my one-stop shop for impulse buying.
I started typing “how to create an” into the search bar, but before I could finish, it gave me a list of suggestions. One of the top ones? “How to create an atheist.”
Um, what?
Is that a topic people often explore on Amazon.com? Is it a common enough search term that it even displays above “how to create an iPhone app”? I mean, I am an atheist, so it’s not like I find it offensive or anything, but I do find it odd—a little weird. What an interesting world we live in.
