It depends on the place where you go to live, and what it expects from you. Some people tried that a bit and they had to retreat back to the usual connected life. What happens is, that old non-digital disconnected world is no longer there w

It's not a choice. For example, Windows XP is no longer a choice, because the context around it made it unsafe now, though it didn't change. Life style from an older era is no longer the norm, which means your relative life qualit

I said this a few times here. Tech is never to make the life easier for the worker. It is to make the worker more productive and product more competitive. Moving from horses to cars did not give you more free time. Moving from telephone to

If you are expecting leaders of countries and media to be truth-telling machines, sure, you are in shocker. Stay tuned to your truth machines.

That's a very inefficient way to interact with CC. There will be transmission losses that need too much feedback looping. So, it appears that we have come a long way bubbling up through abstraction layers: assembly code -> high-leve

As long as things gradual enough, similar to Roman empire collapse, you wouldn't even recognize the collapse. Any change is seen as good or bad, only by the people who saw both ends of it and categorize the change as such. If a change

This makes me think about the craftsmen whose careers vanished or transformed through the ages due to industries, machines etc. They did not have online voices to write 1000's of blogs everyday. Nor did they have people who can read th

For thinkers of that time, there was a vast unexplored green field infront of them, to plough and harvest. It's not hard to imagine ploughing skill of one field could help ploughing others too. My friend used to say, if you have quick

This is very common in Indian villages too. As small kids we used to carry 30-40 kgs of green grass bundles on our heads in the mornings. Girls definitely carried more than their body weight. People carried a stack of pots on their heads wi

So far, personal assistants have only been an initial wonder that faded away. Siri, Alexa, Cortana, Google Home etc hardly had any big impact. It's not fault of the company or product. Usecase is not strong and not worth the hassle and

I remember Sam Altman saying, a few months back, that only Apple has the potential to become the biggest player in AI. I'm surprised that Apple couldn't decode that.

I don't think a lot of people worry about having a bot to manage their chats, appointments, travel, hotel booking etc. A lot of us just worry about the tasks in our task queue. Vacations might involve some thinking and decision-making

Garden should be a place where people can touch grass, leaves, flowers, fruits, plants, soil, rocks and maybe trees, without going out to a park. Ensure that children do not miss out on that. I'm not a big fan of anything that makes ch

Thanks for correcting. That completes the fake life pattern. So, people fake things to get a fake life. Reminds me a Russian joke about factory workers. "They pretend to pay, and we pretend to work".

This is simply amazing. The pricing per lamp (1200 or 1500?) - how did you arrive at that? And which segment of the population are buying this powerful corner lamp?

When people missed working hard, they turned to fake physical work (gyms). So people now need some fake thinking work. Except for eating and sleeping, all other human activities are fake now.

No need to go by some generic rules. Just respond to what's going on around you. Not all companies move the same way in adopting AI. Some do it for PR sake. Highly regulated domains move at snail's space. So wait until you see the
