or both?
I'm increasingly frustrated by the tech devices in our lives. Without doubt they have brought massive convenience, and productivity over the last decade or 2. However, my observation is we have reached a point where the purveyors of this tech are constantly "improving" and releasing "updates" in their zeal to stay "current" but most of the time they are "fixing" things that weren't broken in the first place. Furthermore, the constant updating seems to be accelerating and that also means the expensive hardware is becoming obsolete at a faster pace.
It used to be easy for me to turn off automatic updates and run older versions of software for years, and keep hardware for years. I think this is getting more and more difficult. My iPhone is trying to install iOS updates almost everyday. My windows 10 PC seems to ask for an update weekly, and everytime I update the OS, or am forced to update an app, or other piece of software, something stops working.
Feels like we are now on the downhill side of the productivity curve.
Looking forward to someone posting the pic of the grumpy old man in this thread in 3...2...1
