Like most technologies, it does change the world when it reaches a certain point.
Like... touchscreens..
The first touchscreens (resistive) didn't change the world because the technology wasn't good enough. Capacitive touchscreens, on the other hand, changed smartphones in less than a decade.
Like... tablets...
Tablet really changed things. For casual Web browsing, instant messaging, email and video calls they're more useful than stationary desktops or laptops.
Like... webcams...
Ever heard of video calls? Or that thing called "YouTube"? Neither would exist without "webcams".
Like... sixteen different branded "social media" attempts by everybody and their brother...
I'm also getting old, so I can only agree with you on that one. I understand forums where people share a common hobby but I don't understand social media at all. What pisses me off to no end is when a company gives us a Facebook URL instead of their own website domain.

Please someone with access to these leaked documents, search for her first name, family name, song name, etc. Then forward said information to her anonymously.
I sincerely hope Sony has to pay a massive fine for this... something on par with what we'd get beat down with.
And we can even get the actual number of infringements if we go by number of theatres, number of showings, number of streams distributed to homes, number of DVD and Blu-Ray sold, etc.
And then apply the magical MPAA mathematics of multiplying that number by 1000 and add extra damages on top of that for knowingly disregarding copyrights.

I also liked War of the Coprophages on X-Files.

I didn't RTFA, but I also never heard about anything VR-related from either Apple or Microsoft.
And I think I'll learn an ancient language, pottery-making and juggling, play some golf and ride a bicycle.

Felicia disagrees with you.
I just donated 25 Dogecoin to the Save the friggin' Galaxies project to show how much I care!

It means AltaVistaning or WebCrawlering.
I recommend shark eye surgery.
Unless it's Superman or Ironman. These guys can fly.
Is his name Robin, by any chance?
Oh yeah? I'll have you know that followers of the IPU eat spaghetti for breakfast.
It's on page 4523 where it says "And Jesus, upon being born, teleported an iPad from 2014 and wrote his own birthday in the Calendar app."
Of course these guys are trolls. Only imbeciles would believe in such a preposterous being in the first place. All glory to the IPU!
Cryan R. maybe.
An alias is supposed to be a cover for your real name. If your name is Ryan C. and you choose "ryanc" as your alias, you're too dumb to be a hacker.
Oh right, half the planet is christian now? Since when?
I'm pretty sure it's a reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Do you know where your towel is?
Dear Sony,
here is your check for four million satoshi.
The Festivus pole doesn't require blinking lights.
Milton Waddams: [muttering] I could set the building on fire.

Can't it be both?
