I’m kind of sick of being into tech. Everything is riddled with ads and speculative investment. You have to manage your expectations so much because everything has a good likelihood of turning into garbage at a moments notice. It’s just not fun anymore. I know I’m probably a bit nostalgia blinded, but I miss the mid-late 2000s and early 2010s so much. Games were new and interesting, tech was moving at a lightning fast pace, things were fun.
I know it’s more complicated than that, and there are reasons things are how they are, but fuck man. Anyway, off my chest.
1.a. Modern tech is awesome because you can basically get a device to do anything, just by sticking a CPU in it.
1.b. Modern tech is boring because you can basically get a device to do anything, just by sticking a CPU in it.
1.c. Modern tech is terrible because to get a device to do anything you need to stick a CPU in it.
2.a. Modern tech is awesome because you get updates which fixes bugs delivered straight over the internet.
2.b. Modern tech is terrible because you get updates which fixes bugs delivered straight over the internet, making it acceptable for companies to deliver a buggy product.
3.a. Modern tech is awesome because it just works!
3.b. Modern tech is terrible because it might just not work, and you have limited error information and even more limited tools to slove the issue.
4.a. Modern tech is awesome because we have so powerfull hardware that we can just power through complex problems.
4.b. Modern tech is terrible because we have so powerfull hardware that we have forgotten to optimize code, reducing the effectiveness of moderns computing power.
a. I hate you because you’re right.
b. I don’t hate you because you’re not wrong.
