- fenwick67 7y agoNothing is really new, they just went away for a bit and came back.
- brootstrap 7y agoMy take: what is new? People want to own an $800 phone that can browse the web, do group chat, run apps etc. I get a kick out of modern ads, although they are probably effective (just not on me). "Buy this $800 iphone 10x-r so you can send animated images to your grandma & grandpa. Or run an app that puts an smiley imoge over your face" I understand for some people this is a great feature. Or how about being able to 'unlock your phone' with your face. Great that is totally cool (not), but sure go ahead and drop a grand on the new iphone if you want to. I dont really agree with the article. Technically these group chats might be sending info over the wire. But normally i wouldnt really associate a group chat with "the internet".
