at least when it comes to consumer tech

like i can't even remember the last time i was excited for a new tech thing. maybe my second smart phone, i guess? that one was at least a big improvement from my first one. third was marginally better, and then the fourth, which i'm using now, i feel like i only got because of planned obsolescence (slow down/battery problems etc.)

it's such a stark contrast from growing up in the 90s/early 2000s

      Nice! So many cool phone techs abandoned after partial adaptation. Like is Samsung the only one with those edge screens? Combine that with a back scanner and almost the entire hand would be usable to interface while holding the phone.

          Lol u right. Reason I don’t have one is because I broke it.

          It really does seem that the basic form is the only area that still innovates (foldable touch screens for example).
