I'm 35. Not that old, still young-ish. When you reach 35, you run out of hope, shiny when your still navigating a life that was promised to me that never came. I see where the future is heading and by god is it going to suck.
The younger generations will always think it's better, but that's okay they lack life experience, only time will tell.
Mental illness is on the rise. More people are more depressed than ever. People are poor, technology is closed off. And you telling me it's going to get better because some $corp releases some AI goggles? Can you afford to compete? How am I suppose to reach out to the world of capitalism when corporate runs the show?
I've been working twenty years in IT. All before CloudOps, DevOps, SRE's were a thing. I'm a Unix engineer. When I started virtualization wasn't even a thing.
My apartment only has 2Mb ADSL, I can't even play VRChat if I desired to. That was revolutionary for it's time. I have a Valve Index gathering dust.
You have to embrace, you have no choice otherwise your thrown out. I'm not sorry for being cynical when all I've seen the past fifteen years of promises given to me which have been broken every time. The cycle continues and we all lap the koolaid with our eyes closed. Even myself hopes it will get better, we want better but no, no one wants to turn the page of the plastic age.
It takes a lot to open your eyes and see how reality truly is but that's okay. We don't need to look at it because we now have hi-tech computer monitors in-front of our eyes feeding us soon to be sponsored and controlled information to tell us that everything is okay, what we want. Everything will be better with these glasses, I was promised it too and they screwed on that. I'm more unhappy with an latest iPhone than I have ever been, I can't even listen to music without requiring to own Bluetooth headphones.
Hey, look. I commented exactly like your comment said. Kudos. This is less than what's real and we are doing nothing about it other than letting the corps have more of their cake so they can put up further control in the walled gardens we all live in. We can't even settle on world peace. The divide is bigger than ever and we have technology to thank for that.
Sorry for speaking my mind, your not allowed to do that nowadays because we all should be smiling and nodding lapping whatever is given to us. Some younger generations do, and are they in for a shock with the after taste. I feel sorry for them.
I'm sure this will rub some the wrong way. Feel free to change my view because while technology has gotten better allowing us to achieve futuristic things, we can launch rockets to Mars. A surgeon can preform microscopic operations from their house, fly a helicopter in space. I acknowledge it But what does that really get us? At what cost? It's not all that bad, right? You really think you're going to get it easy in your life time because of? Nah.
