    I am overwhelmed by everything now. It’s so complex and convoluted, and even people trying to help leave things out that they assume you know.

    To me computing is now plugging small black rectangles that look all exactly alike into another larger black rectangle that all look the same to get indistinguishable results for things I don’t even need or want.

    And when I don’t want it it gets shoved down my throat anyway.

      I don’t know if I’m mad that this description is really wrong, or more mad that it is really on point.

      Modern computing to me is slicing up a big computer to have it pretend to be lots of smaller computers.
