The Trainline Effect

An observable effect that results in the myopic and inattentive rejection of newer technology without logic and reason, and accusing the technology of causing issues that are simply human error (while the technology provides accurate information based on the request made by the user). This can be observed amongst large samples of the railway workforce.

I observed The Trainline Effect in action as the militant RMT rep once again blogged about a broken ticket machine, exclaiming “COMPUTERS NEVER WORK!”

Jia Effect

j-ee-uh ef·fect

The "Jia effect" refers to the unfortunate occurrence of experiencing a streak of bad luck in video games whenever JiaKatt participates in the same game session, leading to unfavorable outcomes and challenges for the affected player(s).

Night was excited to join the online gaming session, but little did she know that the "Jia Effect" would strike again, causing her to encounter numerous setbacks and frustrations in the game whenever JiaKatt joined.

Notification Effect

Entering an app with the intent of completing a task only to be distracted by the in-app notification. You then leave the app only to return again to try and accomplish your original task.

I went on Twitter to send a DM but I fell victim to the notification effect when I saw that little counter. Only once I closed the app did I remember what I originally needed to do.
