Most of us don’t even bother to listen to them all, to see how they sound like. The greatest majority of us will just stick for the default ring tone, even though there might be other ringtones that we might prefer. To give another example, take mobile phones with their variety of ring tones. It can then seem more appealing to just switch on the TV with the remote control.Īll our lives we tend to choose the path of least resistance.
