> It's so profoundly saddenning
I understand that behavioral changes from technology can be jarring and folks will process things differently.
But I keep seeing these kinds of melodramatic declarations of sadness. Were you this sad when it became the cultural norm to Google things? There even used to be a url, "let me Google that for you"
Why is this any different?
I think these kinds of things indicate the general age bracket of this forum. So profoundly saddening that it's like watching a child, I see these people as children... Etc.
For the first time we have a bunch of technologically literate people seeing their own norms being disrupted and unwilling to adapt. This is the kind of conservativism with age that happens time and time again.
Me and friends used to laugh at professors that would rant about wikipedia and force people to buy dictionaries in college.
I find it somewhat amusing that on a technology forum that literally has "hacker" in the title is feeling such a loss in response to this technology.
