20 years ago, normal people avoided technology and techies would jump on the newest gadgets as soon as they could

now, normal people buy smart toasters & coffee mugs while every techie I know is on the verge of retreating to the forest

@JellyTBeagle I am definitely not a techie or a normal person, I guess. I am desperately trying to keep all my low-tech stuff working because I refuse to buy the newest gadgets. Even my car is old by choice. Who needs the fridge to connect to WiFi?🙄 All this tech makes us stupid. We need to use our brains to keep them active, not handing it off to a machine or AI.
