Overview

Responsive design, content adaptation, automatically adjustable brightness and other techniques are meant to improve the end user experience. However, those techniques take in consideration device sensors input and not you as a human being! Of course, you can adjust your device settings, but think for a second how cool it would be to have the app adapt to you automatically.
