A really good feeling hit yesterday. It was the memory of life before smartphones. I could feel it so well that I forgot what having a smartphone was like.

This was triggered by a re-watch of a television show. I hadn't seen it in 10-15 years but The Wire really got to me in the way the characters treat and use technology. Almost everything is done by hand and it put my brain in a moment of time before tech came for us all.

The question, "what would I do if I didn't have this?" came across my mind. What would I be doing with my day or my morning? What would I be doing if I wasn't typing this now?

We've crossed a line with computer technology where we don't understand the benefits any further. A human being cannot operate a computer smaller than a smartphone so then we said "where else can we put these?" and the smartphone automobile was born.

We've reached the end of what computers can do. AI was just computers predicting the next possible step. Prediction. Is there anything else a computer could possibly do outside of carry out the present or predict the future? Data storage is the past. It sits and doesn't do anything.

I feel like this is the beginning of the end for how we view computers as an important aspect of our society. There appears to be more human growth away from technology.
