There isn't much about technology that I would prefer to regress in. The phone I'm using is literally a portal to the sum total of all human knowledge. And it is far more powerful a computer than what the Apollo missions used to get to the moon.
It has been awhile since I sat down and read a physical book. I couldn't tell you the title of the last physical book I did complete. I started listening to a 19 hour history of Romania by Paul Kenyon today while at the gym. Thanks to Audible.
Nor does the threat of "AI" alarm me all that much, because no computer can "think" outside of the limits of the inputs a human mind enters into it. We are a long, long way from Skynet. If a computer does something you don't like, it is because a human at some point told it to do that.
Music has become a lot more dependent on technology, and has suffered greatly from it.
Quaznoid observed some weeks ago that before the internet, what you knew about shaving was limited to what you saw in the store. He was certainly right about that.
Technology...I'm fine with it, overall. It is bizarre and incomprehensible trends in post-modernist, post-rational thought in culture that I find more unsettling.
