I’ve just been reading about how in the future, AI will allow us to speak with animals, and people will be able to communicate telepathically and live in their own VR worlds. (etc., etc.)

Man, this isn’t a world I want to live in. I’m so tired of the constant paradigm shifting that you have to put your brain through with each innovation. I wish technology just stayed frozen in the 1980s – there would be so much less uncertainty in my life and I could just focus on being a human.

Innovation keeps being forced on you and I just feel tired. >!And I’m only just in my 20s!< Is this ok? Is this valid? When resisting it is a loser’s game…

    haahha ive been runnin BBs’s since the early 90s, and currently running a fully federating fediverse implementation of mbin. im not scared of running social media stuff. doesnt mean i cant ignore garbage tech like any VR.

    and i only buy retail displays that dont include an onboard OS. they cost more, but theyre always worth it.

    cars? my 1980 toyota celica aint goin nowhere. i can rebuild the 20r in my sleep.

    i hate some of the new tech, but im also not afraid to completely work around it. you do you though
