      I'm constantly lowkey furious that there is almost no tactile/kinesthetic pleasure in interacting with smartphones and other modern computers

      This is so absolutely amazingly ungrateful. Millions of people have labored lifetimes to give you a gift from the gods that you buy for a weeks' wage & put in your pocket, and which connects you to infinite libraries...and you add your own innovation on top? No, you piss on them

      I lived in the 70s and 80s. We were isolated from everyone. We begged parents to drive us an hour to the nearest university library to flip through 2 or 3 books on some esoteric topic like "geology" or "chemistry" for an hour. We watched one nature documentary a week on tv.

          We shoveled driveways and mowed lawns to buy 300 baud modems and then pay phone bills to call 2 town's over on a BBS, so we could see text appear on our screen slower than we could read it. And we were GRATEFUL for every bit of this. Precious precious knowledge that connected us

          i bet she would be grateful if her smartphone had a clicky keyboard on it... but the only thing i really have to add here is that ToysRUs was really the end-all of tactile interaction when I was young. Touch **ALL the toys** even if you never get to take em home.

          And then, as adults, we wrote code and open sourced it, to help share the bounty.

          The mall had a shitty Waldenbooks. It had 3 shelves of science fiction, and 3 shelves of science. And if you shoveled a lot of driveways, you could walk away with STACKS of books.

          And a generation later, you're..thankful for the unpeakable wealth and ease and connection you have? No. You're "continuously lowkey furious". What the ever living fuck?
