I realize this is is me mostly being behind the times more than anything else, but I still cannot believe how much people do on their smartphones. They are so incredibly slow as compared to a real computer. And by that, I mean speed of use, not necessarily speed of operation.

But it’s not just me being behind the times. I watch younger people do things they claim are “easier” and “more convenient” on smartphones, and they take anywhere from 2-10x as long as I do to complete the same task on a full computer. When I witness things like that, I know there is a propaganda operation at work — that those preferences have been engineered and are not entirely organic.

But the world is what it is. Alas.
