    • Olsen provides many examples of points in problem space: Taking notes in zero gravity, securely and quickly unlocking your phone, or filing your taxes to cite a few. We could add anything else that can be formulated as a need: Preventing a meltdown in a nuclear powerplant, finding the closest fast-food restaurant, or predicting next year’s fashion trend.
