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'm aggravated that digital tools are missing something that matters a lot to me! is it a problem to be both glad to have access to the tech *and* be upset that something I care about is being lost in exchange?

I saw no evidence of gladness, just "continuously lowkey furious". ...and I suggest that that IS a problem. Furious? Furious at who? At what? That like is 99.5% ease and luxury, not 99.7% ? Previous generations mined coal w pick and shovels...and your UI doesn't bring you joy?

am I supposed to encapsulate my entire emotional disposition wrt a topic before tweeting about any single aspect of it? obviously you care about this a lot, and, no, I did not grow up in an era that would allow me to viscerally understand how great these tools are, but...

...this conversation feels to me like: me: I'm angry at how unpleasant it is to interact with the medical industry you: are you fucking kidding me? this is so ungrateful, when I was a kid people died from things that are fixed in infancy now! I'm not sure what you want here

And this conversation feels to ME like I lived through most of my life people dying from scratches, and someone who never studied chemistry or medicine is bitching how hard it is to swallow antibiotics because the pills aren't chewable and saffron flavored.

Malcolm Ocean is in Victoria (11/100 vids) @Malcolm_OceanEveryone's basically living in a dream mashup of their current external situation & their old emotional meanings. Like dreaming you're at high school but it's also on a boat somehow. & as in dreams, somehow the weirdness of this mashup goes unnoticed https://malcolmocean.com/2021/06/dream-mashups/ …Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 8 likes
Very good and relevant tweet. I'm certainly very jealous of kids who were born into an information rich world I craved as a kid and didn't get to experience until I was 30. Childhood and teens in the Before Times sucked.

tbh I really should keep it in mind, regardless of how I feel about smartphone design day-to-day
