Me and my wife were discussing this earlier, and we both agreed we missed the days of cellphones + PDAs. That era was so much less predatory to our time, and there’s something to be said about the mental separation between “fun text time” and a dedicated work device. It’s just a shame that given the current technological landscape the closest we have to PDAs are tablets, which are typically too large to pocket (and nonetheless an attractive option).
- katzinsky 2y agoMan I miss PDAs. My dad worked for 3com so I had a palm since about when I learned to read. I was early with smartphones because I thought they'd essentially be PDAs with a modem ("They're just working out the kinks.") Smartphones have to be the most disappointing thing that's happened to consumer computing. It's kind of funny that with pervasive networking I miss having to be mindful and sync everything I wanted to take with me.
