I want to talk about this because this is weird. People have tried to pretend that they don't like technology now. I don't know. I think it's odd. We'll see what it says. Technology. It makes our lives easier so we could focus on the good things in life. Like recreationally using technology. Up until the past decade or so, technology was exciting. It was solving all these problems we face and making life more enjoyable,

all while looking sick as fuck. Somewhere in the 2010s, though, it started to create more problems. than it solved. It was distracting drivers, causing addictions and mental illness, stealing jobs, and it just stopped looking cool as fuck. We went from being hyped over every new advancement to... I think this is a, uh, I think this is a boomer take. I do. I think this is kind of a boomer take because there's a lot of pieces of technology now that I really like. Who said technology is bad? Who decided this? I think technology's great. I love technology. I mean, I can see what I can see what he's saying, but I think that the

reason why people have come to hate technology is because they don't have self-control. They can't regulate their time. They can't regulate their emotions. They go on social media and they get themselves mad. Like, I mean, really, whose fault is that? Indifference, if not a little resentful and maybe scared? Today, I'm going to go over how fun and exciting technology used to be. How our perception of it has shifted to kind of hate it and why this is all happening. Let me take you back to technology was still fun. I'm not going to say this is the best era, but this is kind of right before people started to just fucking hate it. Or like a car. You had things coming out like the iPod. Holy shit. I can listen to Beyonce, H. Shell Ray, and pirate fighting sounds without the

cumbersome tapes and CDs of the past. There were new computers dropping left and right. Well, the reason why the iPod was so good is because we had, before we had iPods, we had CDs. We had CD players. And even a really good CD players. would skip. They would obviously CDs deteriorated over time, and you could only have one CDN at a time. So if you wanted to listen to a bunch of different music, you couldn't do that, really. And so that's the reason why. It's because the iPod solved a new problem that the existing technology didn't solve. And I think a lot of people's frustration with technology nowadays also is the fact that it creates problems to solve for itself. Or it solves problems that

don't exist. What do I want to buy? Maybe the computer with a big ass booty. I don't even know if I can handle all that ass. Maybe I should go with the laptop with the red hot nipple in the middle. I had one of those. A friend once told me that their nipples get darker, the angry or they get. I don't know if that's true.

I don't know. Yeah. But I can't be the only one carrying the burden of knowing that. On second thought, this is kind of triggering. I think I'm just going to go with the Dell. Oh. This is the 2000s, not Toontown. You still had safe options like the Dell.

If you were interested in safe options, though, gaming was just not for you in the 2000s. Not only was it really edgy for some reason, but every console was revolutionary. Oh my God, the new PlayStation and Xbox consoles have high-resolution buff dudes and bodacious babes. I think that's true that old consoles made way bigger leaps than consoles do now. Like nowadays you have convales,

consoles that come out and it's basically the same thing. The last console that I think really made a big difference was the Nintendo Switch. And then the last one that had technology that was valuable was the PS3 because it came with a Blu-ray player. Other than that, yeah, a lot of the stuff didn't really matter. And if you're not into that, you could just whack off with the Wii. Yeah. Like the Wii was amazing.

Like, the Wii was amazing. Like console launches and even game launches were national events. I'm pretty sure business is closed on the day. Halo 3 came out. I mean, people camped out for this game. I don't think people even drove to the store for Halo Infinite. You know what? Well, no, because nobody played it.

But there are people, like, for example, whenever I went to the Nintendo Switch, the Nintendo Switch 2, like, a fucking midnight release, there was, like, maybe 30 people there or so. And they were, like, they were giving, honestly, they were giving them out before midnight. And so, like, we just went in there and got one. That was it. and left. And so, yeah, no, it does happen because you download it. Yeah. And like, I remember, I think it was, yeah, I think it was cataclysm that like me, Cody and Jeff and my mom all went,

and we went to the pre-expansion release of cataclysm. It might have been Mr. Pandaria, but I think it was catta. And I remember our friend Austin downloaded it remotely on, on his computer, right? Because that was the first digital download. And I remember we called them the F word constantly because he didn't go with us, right? We were so mad. We're like, bro, like, how do you just downloaded it on your PC? No, you've got to go to the midnight release at GameStop with us. What do you mean, right? We were so mad at him. And I thought Rath was. Well, I think that the Kato was the first time that we did it. And we were so, so annoyed. And those events were so much fun. They were. And I think now people just digital download.

But for physical releases, like for example, we got the S&S Mini, my friend Derek and I. And like, we got there at like 7.30 in the morning to buy one. And I swear to God, every single other person there was 32 years old. Literally every single one. It was all a bunch of fucking 90s to 1988 to 1982 year old men. Half of them had their wife in the car that's like sitting there waiting. and, you know, they're walking out. You know, that was it, right?

And look at you now. Yeah, yeah, that was a while ago. And that's it. I was born 88. Yeah. And so you still have this, but with software, it's different than hardware. People camped out for literally everything in the 2000s. What was up with that?

Huh. Captain Crunch is releasing an all berries variety. Oh. Someone get my camping tent. Probably the biggest camping event was for a phone, which is where we got hit the hardest in this downfall of technology. Buying a phone was like buying a car. You had to weigh the pros and cons of every model and really picture what your life was going to be like with. Well, they were so different, right?

I mean, you had a Nokia phone that was like this. You had BlackBerrys that were like that. You had the Motorola razor. You had flip phones. You had like all, like, there was a lot of variation where like nowadays you have. There's the only variation is that some phones you can flip, right? Like Emmy has that phone that like is a Game Boy Advance basically. But other than that, or Game Boy SP, yeah, Game Boy Advance SP,

where like you can you can like flip it back and forth, but that was it. Yeah, and that's literally it. Other than that, there's no other customization that you have. So this one has a built-in MP3 player, high-speed 3G service and a sliding keyboard. Oh, that's big. It's real big. Wow. Let me just go with the blue one, please.

You got different phones coming out with cool new features, unique shapes. Well, yeah, yeah. I mean, like, we had these. Varying sizes and keyboards that deployed in ways you never even could have imagined. There was genuinely something for everyone. Nokia, Razor, Sidekick, Perphone, Blackberry, and the iPhone were so novel. And more importantly, so diverse. They were worth camping out for.

Kind of. Really. Today you just buy them online or go to the Apple store. Nowadays you walk into an AT&T store trying to buy a phone looking like this. They're just like, what the fuck? You look good for 65. How can I help you, sir? This concept of having something for everyone extended to the internet as well. Hey, check it out. We don't need cable when we could just watch homo erotic content on this YouTube thing. Finally, another outlet for me to show off my shit music taste. Wow, I really wish I could see my favorite celebrities share. They are shitty one-liners and or racist hot takes. Yep, there you go. Awesome. I hope this doesn't turn into a schito battlefield of who could be the most offensive or offended. You're telling me I could sign up to see what my old ice school buddies are up to. Or if I'm only nine years old, I could sign up to just play games.

Be retarded. I love Facebook. There you go. I hope this doesn't turn into a geriatric battlefield arguing whether or not this video of Michael Jackson and Superman is real. Wait, oh my God, is that really him? There were always new websites cropping up. So all furries had to do is wait just one more second. He's alive.

And there you go. There's a new website for you guys. Don't, don't do anything weird on there. Although it's kind of, you don't want to do that. And no, and that's always how it's been. But those websites are still around now. Like, Deviant Art is still around.

People still use Deviant Art. It's annoying. There was something fun about all websites looking different and getting redesigns every few years. A few years ago, I got this book from a used bookstore, and it just has a bunch of old, flash websites and it is fucking sick. It is genuinely sad

what happened to the design of websites. I think that everybody thinks this is true until they have to use one of these websites and then it's annoying and hard to understand. But I do think that having some flare to the website

so like here's a really good parallel. How cool was it the UI for like Expedition 33 is a game or for metaphor refantazio. The UI was it was its own type of art by itself. And so I'm not completely out on this idea, but I think that things have become more uniform because that's what makes more sense for more people. Regularly browse the Pokemon website as a kid and you know when a new

redesign dropped, my little ass was popping champagne. I guess it was just apple cider. At the time, it seemed like technology was always advancing and getting better. You can see how positively we thought about it with the obsessive use of Frutiger Arrow. This is officially a YouTube video because I said the word frugger arrow. Technology looks futuristic yet clean, and we thought it was going to integrate with our natural world. Butterflies were going to be flying through bubbles and neon green pastures. So yeah, it didn't really integrate with our natural world. It kind of did the opposite.

But I'm getting ahead of- Well, the natural world integrated with technology instead. myself. Actually, I already got ahead of myself and it just arrived today. All right, going back to where I was. People were excited for what was to come. They had time to breathe between new innovations and enjoy the new product they just bought. New products also warranted being released. They would usually serve a purpose, you know, fix a problem. Like tech products. This is another issue right here is that the iPhone, the new iPhone will probably do the same thing that the old iPhone did. And the new Samsung phone will probably do the same thing that the old Samsung phone did.

But it will have slightly better audio or slightly better video. But 5% faster, exactly. And so you're really just buying an, like, after the iPhone came out, all people have been doing since iPhones is buying the new iPhone. This is basically an iPhone. They're supposed to do. If a new iteration of a product came out, it was different enough to justify buying it like yeah the GameCube could really use a controller that you could whack off now compare

all these generalizations to today none of them are true anymore now before we dive in i don't mean for this to just be an old good new bad because looking at modern technology well yeah a lot of these stuff are a lot of these things are pretty cool that's just not the case we have incredible technology today this is more about how our perception of it has changed and how technology is advancing in a less than desirable direction Also, I think technology is great. I'm not a big agreeer with this. I think that the problem is that companies just keep wanting to get paychecks for releasing the same product over and over.

And that's not really a problem with technology. That's more a problem with that company. This is not just a boomer thing or just a zoomer thing. Most people across all ages are starting to admit, yeah, we got a bit of a problem here. For example, think of how people reacted to when something as simple as, FaceTime released. I could pick up my phone at any time from anywhere and video call whoever I wanted and it didn't look like two pixels. It was genuinely mind-blowing. You know what? My friend had buffalo wings from Chuckie Cheese the other day. Well, it was mind-blowing like my dad would talk

about this. Like back in the day, like, you know, 3,000 years ago whenever he was a kid, they had a party line, which means that like each home in the area didn't have an actual unique, dedicated phone line. And so if you picked up the phone, there was a chance that somebody else would actually pick up the phone instead or somebody else would be on the phone at the same time, and it was like your neighbor.

Yeah, I remember that? Yeah, exactly. A grandparents said that. Yeah, exactly. So, like, I think this is something that's happened in waves over time. So I'm going to give him a quick call and see how he's doing. Hey, buddy, how's your stool?

You've got to help me, man. There's so much blood. All right. Now compare that reaction to when I say these two letters, AI, or these three letters, NFT, or these four letters, SPUM. This shit is in the- I think AI has value. NFT doesn't have any value. People use AI all the time now.

Like, everybody likes to complain about AI, but I see people constantly using AI. The news every week, and we're tired of hearing about it. AI is more concerning because at least with NFTs, it was just kind of like an idiot pastime. You didn't have to worry about it affecting your everyday life and it just kind of died out on its own after a few months. Who knew that a poorly animated eyesore of an ugly ass shitty ass. Isn't it crazy how right I was about that guy getting his NFT stolen was the end of NFTs? I just, somewhere inside of me, I just knew like this is the beginning of the end. Cartoon wasn't going to save these things.

That's the guy. Could you have predicted that? Can we call in that So Raven and ask if she could have predicted that this ugly-ass shitty cartoon was not going to save the world of scamming that is NFTs? AI and automation advancements are not as fun as advancements in keyboard deployment technology or video game graphics. Like we kind of have to be... I think that people really like the ability.

Like if you look at the Studio Ghibli filter thing and how popular that was, I think that you can see that people still do revel and enjoy new technological leaps and technological innovation. And I think that's probably the most recent example that I could talk about that would be an indicator of people still enjoying new technology. And then you even have now, you've got the Google VEO3, which is the Google video editor. That also is really, really popular. People love that. But would you pay for a studio Ghibli filter? Well, people pay for chat GPT or they pay for some form of AI subscription that uses that as a function. Yeah, they do. It's actually very common. That's why these companies are raising billions of dollars of capital. Yeah, I mean, sure.

Darth Vader. Yeah, think about, remember Darth Vader and Fortnite? People love that. With the outcome of the former. And this is kind of how we feel about everything in tech now, hesitant and exhausted. Everything was becoming more convenient and solving all these little annoyances of everyday life. But now we've regressed. You try to order food or even just look at the menu of a restaurant before you go and it wants you to sign up or it's going to throw you into the app store to download their app. Okay, that's a good point.

This is the first one I totally agree with. Having to set up an account or having to make another profile in order to use a piece of hardware that you've already paid your money for. Like, why do you not have just a localized piece of software that you can just install onto the PC that automatically detects that you are using this piece of hardware. Like a game launcher,

like any time that there's a game launcher for a game launcher, like I have to go to Steam and then I use Steam to open up another game. Oh, bro, fuck you. No, man, that's too much. Take the train, you got to download an app. You want to take the bus in the same city,

you got to download a different app. You want to check into the emergency. And another one that's really annoying is like, have you ever been to a restaurant? Like, I'm in Austin, Texas. And so we've got a lot of these, like, kind of hippie restaurants and shit like this, is that you have a restaurant and they don't even have menus. You just have to scan a QR code in order to read the menu. Yeah, scan the menu.

I don't like digital menus. I'm an old man now. Digital menus are too much. Yep. That's the bridge too far. my dad and I, we went to a place like that. I forgot it was like some Mexican restaurant. And like, we thought it was going to be a nice place you could sit down.

Bro, everybody there was like fucking 21 drinking and screaming and yelling. And like, I came out there and like, we're like, where's the fucking menu? And they're like, scanned it on your phone. And like, my dad doesn't, especially then, did not know how to even use a smartphone. And he was like, okay, let's just go to Cracker Barrow. Like, yeah What's there? He's like, yeah,

we gotta go. In the agency room because you have the sword of a Sengoku period ninja in your chest. Sir, can you scan the QR code to check in through the app? I don't have the app. I just have a sword in my chest. Can I do like a paper form or something?

Yeah. Sir, can you scan the other QR code to download the app? Then you got social media, which is just like, f***ing horrible now. Look at these statistics. And these ones, too.

What's this here? Fitting horrible now. Look at these statistics. Teen and young adults in person, social engagement with friends, annual daily average and minutes. That's bad. Wow. I mean, yeah, I would. I, I could see that for sure.

And that doesn't even count COVID. Yeah, keep that in mind. And these ones, too. Dog, what about these ones? I think I'm putting up bad statistics, I hope. started off as a fun way to connect has turned into... Yeah, it's pre-COVID. I don't even know what to describe this as.

I'm going to be honest with you. I don't know what's going on with Instagram captions. Like, it's sassy, but you're also in the third person because you're the main character and slang. And it's not just a girly thing. I'm not going to just dogg on the girls out there. Us guys do this shit too. We got default captions and poses too.

You got to work the boys into every caption and then throw up a four when you're posing with said boys. Hey, getting my colonoscopy with the boys picking up. Is this true? I haven't noticed this. I don't think I follow any men on Instagram. Lost from the store with my boys. Just went fishing. Then drunk drove and hit a family of four.

Or do I? Yeah, I don't know why I would. Then you got Snapchat, which I just had to delete because what the fuck am I going to do with Snapchat? When you're no longer in high school and taking pictures of random people in class and drawing a wiener over them, there's really no point to this app. Plus, the Discovery tab is concerning. I'm just going to leave it at that. I have not. I don't even have Snapchat on my phone. I've never installed Snapchat on my phone. Like, I used to have Snapchat, and I would use it sometimes, but I just don't really give a shit. I keep ranting about social media, so I'm just going to leave off with these last two things. First of all, I think it's also like Snapchat's mainly for younger, like, it's mainly for like young adults and teenagers.

And so, like, as you get older, I mean, you know, you're just not going to use it the same way anymore. 25 plus should have Snapchat. Yeah, exactly right. Everything has a TikTok feature. Instagram has one. Drugdoers using Snapchat? If you're a drug doer, you use Telegram. You're just an idiot if you're using Snapchat.

Yeah, I mean, it's it, what dumbass is doing that? Snapchat has one. YouTube has one. The fucking guitar tabs app has one. I'm trying to learn love by the Jonas Brothers. Why do I need to see a 12-year-old ripping their vocal cords to sing Alicia Keys? Second, if you're tired of all these apps becoming so bloated that you don't even remember what their original purpose was, you can download all these BS real social media apps that all your friends are just going to stop using it.

Oh, that one died immediately. I remember that. That's a good idea, but for some reason, Norma's refused to download it. I mean, like, I don't know. I mean, like, I don't know the inner workings of like how selling drugs works now. Like, I have no idea. But, I mean, if you're not, if you're not buying and selling with either a prepaid or through telegram or signal, you're like anything that you do. Like, I mean, if you're selling weed, it doesn't really matter, right?

Because you're never really going to get in trouble for that. But if you're doing anything else besides that and you're not using one of or all three of them. things you're just a retard and you deserve to go to jail like I'm sorry you're just a fucking idiot like at a certain point like isn't this natural selection for three days like I'm pretty sure I still have a friend actively posting to be real just into the void I have been fucking with locket though that one's kind of cool that puts pictures of my friends on my home screen social media lost the plot so long ago they don't each have their niche anymore they want to incorporate features from all the other apps so they could be the catch-all

app. I think that's actually a really good point. Is it all social, so every social media app tried to be the everything app. Every social media app has a live streaming function now. Every single one has a doom scrolling 10 second video function. Every single one has a long form video function or a short message function. That's a good point. End up being bland. Like why would I choose Instagram over Snapchat or Google Plus the best social media platform? form to exist. And this is the big killer here, the homogenization of everything. I already mentioned every app having a TikTok feature, but we also have a story feature on every app. Yep. Even Twitch has a story feature. It's saying on the topic of homogenization. Yeah, no, but Twitch does not need a story

feature at all. Total fucking bloat. Go back to phones. I'm just going to show you phones from like 20 years ago and then phones from today. Dude, that sucks. These are all. just iPhones. It's the same with cars, tablets, and laptops where everyone wants to copy the style of Tesla and Apple. It's because it works. That's the reason why it's the best style. Yeah. It's the best style. It's the best function. Like the ones with like the keyboards had their own problems. The ones that would flip open would have their own problems. There's a reason why everybody uses this. The same one. Yeah, phones are huge today. Yeah, exactly. respectively. Not only has tech gotten so homogenized, but it's gotten very invasive too.

And I don't mean in like a toddler coughing in your face kind of way. I mean in a rash kind of way, where it's always there reminding you, hey, I'm here. You want to play with me? That's what a rash sounds like. It sounds like an ash catchup. Yeah, it's annoying. Whoa, Pikachu. Oh, wow. Click my link tree in the bio to check out my sound cloud. I don't know if I... Usually link trays don't go to sound clouds. Should keep these impressions in the videos. I don't know why I'd never choose to cut them out. We reached a point where technology was seamless and solved real problems

and passed it where now technology is inconvenient. You used to get in your car and you had your music, AC, and all your little car features easily accessible because you're hurling a thousand pound vehicle at 65 miles an hour. You've got to be able to access these everyday things quickly and easily. Then we pass that point. Now, everything is behind three menus on a touchscreen that you, You have to look at turning off the AC on the new car.

I don't have any of these problems. And I have a 20-25 car. Like there's just a button and it goes from one to seven. Yeah, I mean, like we did have, so like I rented an Audi. And I remember the shifter for the Audi was like a, it was like a light switch. And I was like, what the fuck is this? Like, because I'm used to like having, you know, the shifter, right? I mean, you're going to go up and down.

And I'm not, I don't do stick shift, right? I'm just talking about the automatic shifter. And like, even that was weird. Everything's computer. Yeah. And mine, like, pretty much everything is computer. But I think it's fine. But, yeah, some of them are bad.

Some of these here, some cars you do have to use the dashboard screen to do that kind of stuff. That's so stupid. Yeah, I mean, I'm lucky that I don't have a car like that at all. and pray that you don't hit two kids and a dog while using. Home phones let you call your friends and plan ahead or catch up. You can leave a message if they're not home, and it wasn't the end of the world if they didn't answer for a little while. Cell phones helped bridge that lost connection when you're out on the town and you can't.

Well, I hated that. Like, I hated whenever people would do that. I love the ability for people to text me because then I just don't respond. Or I respond back in like a week, and I'm like, oh, yeah, my bad. and like, yeah, I'll get back to them whenever I get back to them. That's it. Yeah, no, that's exactly how I feel. On each other, or you're just not home, or there's an emergency. You saw a ninja slinking around your house.

Now we're way past that point of feeling a genuine need. There is no reason I should be able to receive work emails when I'm going out after 5 p.m. And there's no reason I should be able to post a picture of the sunset with the caption, Golden Hour with my Golden Girlies. There is no reason for any of this. It's just noise. And you can just say, oh, just quit your phone. But people freak the fuck out if you don't respond for a few hours.

You have to train them. See, for me, it's normal for me to take two to three weeks to respond to a text message. That's just the way it is. Just how it is. Might not like it. Might be annoying. And I'll get back to you in like a month. but yeah for sure man yeah i'm down to hang out this message was received uh what is this uh may

first yeah yeah no for sure dude yeah and like yeah the 36 day rule you suck i know but like for me i just like i don't know i i do my stream i'm busy i'm tired and then like by a time i think about okay maybe i should socialize it's like one in the morning i'm like ah geez they're probably asleep by now i'm not going to text them and then it's the next day and And then the same thing happens again. It's out of the norm now. You can't just ditch technology, especially with the way it's so integrated with our everyday lives. Some people can't get around their city or do their job without having a smartphone.

Technology. I'm one of those people. I don't know how to drive anywhere. Like before we had MapQuest, I would get lost. And when I did have MapQuest, I would still get lost. And I stopped getting lost whenever I had GPS. That was it. And also, here's the best part.

I still get lost. It used to be exciting and helpful. It solved problems we all faced in our everyday lives. But with the way, it's so homogenized now. It's starting to create more problems than it's solving. There's no more of that something for everyone. Everything's got to be one size fits all now. Every phone is an iPhone.

Every car is a crossover SUV. Every console is basically the same. Except for Nintendo, they're just the same as themselves. It's the same as the other one. the other Nintendo, yes. And I don't want to hear anyone saying, Hey, bro, I think you're just depressed. That's why nothing's exciting anymore.

Yeah, I'm depressed. My big-ass thumbs can't type on this stupid touchscreen keyboard, and there are no phones with physical keyboards anymore. I'm depressed. I can't flex on my friends with a sick new phone. What am I going to pull up with the iPhone 16? Be like, hey, bro. Hey, this phone is like, all your phones?

But I can combine emojis. I'm not going to say technology peaked, and we should just stop making new technology, because I don't think that's true. But we passed the point where it was all so exciting because it was genuinely useful. I think it's because people were young and it was new and you were making bigger gaps and bigger jumps.

It's the same as video game graphics. Like when the PS6 comes out, it's not going to be as crazy as the PS5 in terms of graphics. And when the PS4 came out, it wasn't as crazy of a jump than the PS3 was. Like, the fact is that you are hitting, a certain degree of, you know, saturation. Like, that's, and like, you're hitting diminishing returns.

And the new technology, like the Google Glass or like the Apple Vision, is like $3,500. And the only thing you get out of it is looking like a retard. So, yeah, it's definitely a lot different. The PS2 goat? Yeah, dude, the PS2 was a totally different universe. looked so sick it would be cool

if it was possible to just ditch your phone and get a dumb phone but I like having Spotify and Venmo and the Chipotle app so I can get a free bowl once every seven years

all I really want is a cool looking phone with a physical keyboard but until then I'll just keep buying these cheap ass Google The one thing about this video that I 100% agree with

is about the proliferation of apps Like, I don't want to download the Domino's app I just want to order Domino's. That's it. I don't want any bullshit or anything else to happen. pixels whenever my current one breaks. I really don't use this for anything other than phone calls, texting and checking Facebook marketplace for the weirdest shit I can ever find.

Look at this shit I found the other day. That's really cool. Holy shit. that's badass i'd say everything i talked about is worth it because i got to see this channel that subscribe button for videos about literally anything everything goes at this point comment what your favorite thing about old phones was and thank you for watching boomer needs a jitterbug yeah i feel like technology back in the day was like it was solving more problems whereas like i mean i think a tablet is a great example of this like i have a tablet i don't know where it is it's somewhere

it's on the floor somewhere over there and i bought it and i hardly use it because a tablet is basically just a pc like it's basically like what am i doing with the tablet that i'm not already doing with my phone or pc and so you just have all like there's nothing it's a big phone yeah exactly and so what what's going on with this at all it's a worse pc yeah but you already have a laptop for that and like laptops are better than tablets tablets tablets the only function that tablets really have is that if you work in sales or any form of business presentation, tablets do a tremendously good job at being able to communicate something to a client or a person you're trying to sell to in a way that is professional, clean, technologically

advanced, and just useful, right? It looks professional. So like if you're at a, you know, like you have a dealership, you're trying to sell a product or whatever, like I think a tablet is like your S-tier device. But that's like such a, it's such an, like how many people are really doing this, right? It's very unlikely. It's mostly for kids. Yeah, I guess so. Reading and dead.

I just read on my phone. Am I weird? I think that maybe I am. But yeah, overall, I think technology nowadays, I love technology. I love using technology. I'll link you guys a video. Give it a like. And yeah, it's a great, I think it's a great analysis, especially with like the phone thing about

how every phone is an iPhone. And yeah, sure, I think it's definitely true, but you're going to see more and more people that I think bring this up and are frustrated with it. But also I think people become like kind of exhausted or fatigued from technology because technology is just repeating the same stuff over and over and over.

It's not like there's anything new or special or different going on at all. And I think that's what's really kind of alienating people more than anything else. Brain images to digital? Yeah, yeah, sure. But right now it's just, I feel like in the last like five years, we've pretty much had the same exact technology,

just repeated over and over. Yeah, I can understand that as well. Yeah, exactly. Exponential growth that we had has stopped. Well, the exponential growth, well, the problem is that even if you experience exponential growth, like let's say you go from 8K resolution to 16K resolution, the difference between the two is not going to be as big

as the difference between the Super Nintendo and the Nintendo 64. That's the problem, is that you're hitting a diminishing return because the perceptual reality that a human can live in has a ceiling as well. So we're already hitting that ceiling in general. Like 1080p is great. 1440 is even better. 4K is amazing. But like when I'm at 1440 and I move from that to 4K, I'm not seeing the big difference that I saw whenever I moved from 1080p to 1440, right? And do you see what I'm saying, right?

Like you're hitting diminishing returns over and over. And yeah, I'm at 1440 right now myself. I don't need any more than not. And I feel like 4K doesn't have that big of a value. So until we get, you know, sword art online and neuralink, we're going to be at an impasse with technology. And I can't wait to see that happen. This is a good video, man.

And I haven't, I've never watched one of his videos before, Chon, one of these videos, but I did like it. And the IRL streaming in your front yard. Yeah, we'll see what happens. Virtual reality? Yes, clearly. Sounds like a boomers man. The boomers say that about 60 fbs.

You can't tell if the difference is higher. Well, I think it's just, it's a reality. Like, I mean, you can look at what photographic quality is, and then you can compare that. And then you can look at what the difference between the two things are. And like, yes, obviously image resolution has diminishing returns after probably, you know, like 1440, 2K resolution. It has a diminishing return.

And it gets worse every time, right? Yeah, I need 1440. And also the human eye, like the difference, for example, a 500 hertz monitor, I'm assuming the human eye can probably see at about 300 to 400 frames per second, maybe 200 somewhere around there, probably between 200 to 400 based off of the genetics. Oh, is it 1,000? I think it's over 1,000, really? that's crazy it's like 140 yeah i i don't know but like and and crts were about like 700 fps right

something like that not my eyes yeah i i'm at about 35 fps or so and uh yeah something like that infinite fps well i don't it's which which can be perceived as higher right and i think that's really what i'm discussing more than anything but yeah and uh anyway grock yeah sure but uh i'm gonna go and take a break today and show out anyway guys thank you all very much watching and i'll see you then All right, boys. Peace. See ya.
