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
you might be using these things much sooner than you think. ive already been forced by some acquantinces to be in the same room as an alexa, we all had fun with that Dall-E shit and the private one is way way better. consumer-side drones have gone from fancy toys to a staple of filmmaking (and surveillance and killing people).
well i shouldnt say 'using' so much as 'be forced to interface with them through their invasions of public space & the workplace'
