< thought they were HMD now

< didn't even know that, but that checks out with a quick search on DuckDuckGo

<'s mother still uses a Nokia, which works fine for everyone…

< is glad that Neo finally has a real office chair to use.

Yeah Nokia's mobile history is a mess. <'s glad that they're still around in some capacity, but <'s wondering if their days are numbered now that HMD are starting to use their own brand name over the Nokia name.

<'s grandfather just has some simple phone with buttons on it, because they wouldn't have a clue how to use one with a touchscreen. <'s grandmother had adapted to technology though when she was around, but <'s grandfather is the type of person who would barely even know how to use the TV remote. He would even accuse that someone was "messing with it", because it was on a different HDMI channel, and he didn't even know how to change it back. He must only know how to press channel up and down.

It does make < weonder how things will be for us when we're old and senile...

< wonders how worn down that chair is now, if the other one is ruined.

< wonders how much technology will have adapted by then, will we really be that out of touch.

< can't imagine life without a smartphone or WhatsApp, specially considering how much I use them.

No, it'll be the children who are wrong


< wonders if we'll even have physical interfaces for technology, or if it'll be some gesture based stuff. < hopes it'll be something tactile at least...

Well, they're all quite worn down, just from years of general use. The other one is still usable, just much less sturdy. A bit of woodglue would probably sort it all out

< is already feeling it, with how people are being encouraged to use AI to assist them with programming and other work tasks

< wishes all a happy record day!

The most AI < has played around with is Stable Diffusion, but < needs to play with that one D&D generating thing <'s IT buddy uses.

< wishes Ambi a happy record day also. < also hopes Ambi has been keeping well

< forgot about this, but it seems a lot of Simpsons quotes kind of ironically resonate with people in the end.

< already feels like the sense of humour teens have eludes < at this point, but yeah it's true that technology is taking over so fast that it's kind of scary. < wonders what it will mean about a decade down the line.

That reminds < of the guy who used to sit beside < at work. One day he was musing about technology, and thinking that it would be cool if you had a keyboard that didn't have buttons for Num Lock / Caps Lock, you'd just say "Num Lock on". < pointed out that then you probably wouldn't need a keyboard in the first place

A couple of years later, that same guy's Caps Lock key actually popped off his keyboard
