Google Search? You might think it's getting worse but nobody is accessing the internet with raw URLs any more. Everyone uses search.

You can also say what you want about FB/Instragram doing many bad things but you can still be "friends" with people you know and stay up-to-date with them in a pub/sub style (which didn't really exist outside of christmas cards before social media was thing).

Google/Apple Maps are a great resource still.

Apple produced and still produces smartphones which have massively changed society. Those aren't going anywhere

Smartphones enabled app-based services for banks and other institutions and such with a ubiquity that did not exist in the desktop and dialup era.

Like it's so easy to look at how the world has changed in the last 15 years that I have trouble taking your claims that nothing lasts seriously.



Do you remember asking for directions, and then, trying to follow them?


I remember getting a customer address, looking for it in my Thomas guide, and scribbling directions on a Post-it note.
