Maybe we’ve been pushing way too hard, way too fast into the age of technology being integrated into our every waking moment, bros.
I’m ready to go back to like an iPhone 5 level of technology and Windows 7. Just wish it was realistic.
24/7 connectivity was a mistake. I miss that brief window when we had cheap supercomputers in our pockets, but data was still expensive.
I don’t want internet to be expensive but like..I wish we’d go back to dumb phones and computers maybe. Kinda like an early 2000s vibe.
Cause if you look at 2025 vs 2000 or even 2005, we’re honestly insanely different in terms of technology in such a short span. Just feels like too much too fast imo. Like maybe we DON’T need technology incorporated into every aspect of our lives.
The scariest thing is - we’re from a generation where we remember a life before this. Gen Alpha and whatever comes after will only ever know an internet connected life. How do you explain this to someone like that?
I don't miss the price haha, I miss its implications: If you were outside, you were outside; and there was no email which could hopefully find you well.
🤣🤣 okay true
