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.
How I feel like is that at some point they reached what was at the time peak-practicality and since there was nothing more to imporove on, they started focusing on other things which seems to be trendiness. Then we started seeing indestructable materials like plastic being replaced with fragile glass and slippery aluminium, buttons and the headphone jack being removed from a more sleak look etc. It’s like you have a perfect wrench but you want to make it look nicer so you replace tool steel with brass and now you’ve got a worse tool that looks cool.
