The longer I work in tech the less I'm impressed by new tech. I don't want the latest and greatest phone. I don't need a crazy gaming PC. I don't need or want a bunch of smart devices. I want a few useful things that I can manage myself, and the freedom to wake up to no alarm except the livestock.

Because tech should be boring. Just like politics.

But companies shove tech in our face with fancy bells and whistles to make us buy more.

I mean, just look at PC where RGB is everywhere. I want a silent PC that I don't see.

Sometimes I wonder if it's me getting old or if it's tech being more and more about solutions in search of a problem. I feel like we had reached a "good enough" point for a while, but I can't tell if the "good enough" judgement is just me getting old and stubborn.

Both can be true. You're getting older and lots of products are a solution in search of a problem to solve
