I’ve just been reading about how in the future, AI will allow us to speak with animals, and people will be able to communicate telepathically and live in their own VR worlds. (etc., etc.)
Man, this isn’t a world I want to live in. I’m so tired of the constant paradigm shifting that you have to put your brain through with each innovation. I wish technology just stayed frozen in the 1980s – there would be so much less uncertainty in my life and I could just focus on being a human.
Innovation keeps being forced on you and I just feel tired. >!And I’m only just in my 20s!< Is this ok? Is this valid? When resisting it is a loser’s game…
I don’t want my refrigerator connected to the internet
Yep
Try to buy a tv that isn’t a fucking smart tv, you just fucking can’t anymore.
This is what I’m on about, resisting is a loser’s game, even if you try it gets too hard :-(
what’s getting thrown at the wall.
Ah, well noticed. Yeah I guess a lot of the smart toasters etc is just the industry throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks. You just reminded me how quickly 3D TVs disappeared after appearing.
Our lives do not need to be curated and polished into some technicolor madness.
Tell that to society 😩
But yes, we are definitely on the same page.
