I miss the days when there was no "standard visual appearance" for the OS (e.g. DOS). I liked the diversity of interfaces.
Years ago, I remarked to a friend that I'd spent half of my (computing) life post-high speed Internet, yet almost all my happy memories are from before that. It was the same for him, and we both explored why that was.
The homogeneity of interfaces was actually one of the reasons we came up with on why doing work at a computer is a lot less appealing.
- gbalduzzi 6mo agoEveryone remembers fondly the time they were young, I believe it is more about that then everything else. I understand your feelings but it is extremely tipical in human history to keep remembering "the good old times"
- BeetleB 6mo agoThat may be true, and had you asked me half a lifetime ago, I would have likely said "The old days were better". But: I would have still said I enjoyed using computers. And I wouldn't have said "Today's interface sucks" (well, other than my HW not being able to keep up with eye candy...) I simply don't enjoy using the computer these days. And I do think the interface sucks. Pretty much anything that involves using the web browser sucks - be it a local app or a web app.
- andoando 6mo agoI don't either, but I really think Im just burnt out. The simplest things piss me off.
