The past decade or more was the rise of the smartphones which is seeing a decline by returning to the dumb phone. The next decade will see a rise of health trackers in the form of accessories until people are tired of tracking as well, and most of them go back to ballin' it raw

I left India because a lot of men (yes, men) who have god-like syndrome for making a cool piece of tech, or some UI or a health tracker accessory feel like they have immortalised themselves --

Humility goes a long way, so does pattern tracking what human being naturally tend to do

You can also go to a public library and have a conversation with a librarian that might help you expand your taste and worldview instead of merely affirming it. They’ll even let you check out the books for free.
You can give ChatGPT a photo of an empty bookshelf and ask it to fill the shelves with real books based on what it knows about you. Kinda fun that image gen is so good now!
