Visionaries

September 18, 2024

I was ranting to my wife the other night about how frustrating it is that so much energy is going into absurd nerd fantasy when there’s just SO MUCH to improve about the actual technology real people use every day.

At some point, I blurted out something about how maybe getting two completely insane platforms — the internet, and the iPhone — in less than fifty years was enough. Maybe we needed to get better at those before deciding we were moving onto… whatever this is.

“The computer should be alive. I should be able to wear the computer.”

WHOA, WHOA, SETTLE DOWN. There’s work to be done here, folks. The singularity ain’t coming in our lifetimes, so this is going to be a grind.

Or… well, I guess if you’re a billionaire you can play pretend for a few years.
