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.
The problem with tech is that it doesn’t directly serve the users interests. It also serves the interests of business.
You can’t really serve two masters as the saying goes, so tech tends to prefer business over the individual which isn’t very healthy.
I’ve taken a deep dive into 3d printing. The tech moves at a slow but steady pace and it’s one of the few tech related things I’m aware of that feels like it’s a real user community movement still. Drones to some degree are getting this feeling too, but a bit more commercial crap there still.
Maybe because there is no end product from 3D printing business can take and wreck havoc with. I mean at leadt my 3D printer almost solely was used to make my 3D printer better :-)
