    I still love that Connie Willis passage where she talks about an engineer saying the obvious reason people hate smartphones is they *work too well* and he's going to make a fortune marketing a new smartphone whose selling point is that it *doesn't work*https://twitter.com/qjurecic/status/1311766273928372225?s=20 …

    the moral of The Social Network is that the problem with Facebook is that it creates a poor substitute for human connection. but as the last four years show, the problem with Facebook is that people should not be connected this much or at this scale.

        The sarcasm is blistering and yet oddly compelling The more you think about it the more it almost makes sense to buy a phone where, most of the time, when someone tries to call or text you it just doesn't go through, and you can honestly say "Yeah sorry my phone just does that"

        When you try to load up Twitter it just doesn't do it Your Twitter timeline is always several days behind so there's no point in commenting on or reacting to anything Whenever you get mad at a video and try to reply to it, it times out

        YouTube tries to load its recommended videos after the last one you watched, but that also doesn't work In fact if you try to watch more than one or two videos at a time you run out of data and the phone just stops working

        The push notifications, especially, just don't work If something you post should go viral, you just never find out about it If you don't actively decide to open up one of your apps you end up getting distracted doing other things and forgetting the app even exists

        "But Arthur this is obviously a joke, if you want a phone that doesn't do these things you can just turn those features off" Yeah, smart guy, and if you don't want to smoke the cigarettes inside a pack of cigarettes you can just leave the cellophane on and not open it
