    That would extremely hard to do... but by the late 1980s a system was available from Radio Shack called a Home Controller..the way it worked was you needed a modem and a computer (Tandy of course) and a handful of controller modules..you would plug the controller module into the wall then plug something into it i.e. a lamp..you would dial home from a touch phone the computer would pick it up... then you would enter a code for which device you wanted to turn on or off the software would send a signal to the controller module .. As far as cost you would be into it for at least $2000 (over $4500 in today's money)..

It’s simply crazy and everyone born into these devices see it as a given and simply don’t care about how revolutionary modern technology is.

    The one thing I’ve noticed is that they thought we would use different devices for everything. We’d have a device to use as a telephone, another device to email, another device to watch TV. Nowadays we can literally do everything we need on our phone if we wanted. The only reason we’d use a different device like a PC or TV is for a larger display / faster processing.

    " The only reason we’d use a different device like a PC or TV is for a larger display / faster processing" Actually, that's starting to happen now with foldable phone/tablets and foldable tablet/laptop hybrids e.g. I have a Samsung Z Fold 3 that can turn into a "larger display" and has 'Dex' a "desktop" computer like interface. foldable, rollable displays and short throw projector technology that throw out 100" displays from a "smaller" display seems to be the current trend. "faster processing" is relative as today we have computers and mobile devices sharing having nearly the same level of processing power and speed e.g. M1 iPads and M1 MacBooks. Also...Augmented Reality glasses are a thing but still very niche.

    They were already being built into walls so why not hung there? Everybody knew from a half century of technological changes that tech always gets smaller, lighter, and more user friendly, so you don't have to know how things work to use them. Everything today can be predicted on that principal. And human reaction has always been predictable, awe and excitement, becoming lazier and reliant on the tech, finding the tech has taken over their lives, trying to regain a measure of independence and control, coming to a compromise with tech use.

    You have got to be kidding! When I was a kid in the 50’s food was packaged in paper, cellophane, cardboard, or glass bottles or jars. Clothing was cotton, wool, linen, silk. The furniture was made of wood, fabric, leather and metal as were the toys and sporting goods. Shoes were leather or canvas. We are being buried alive in a world of plastic now. Almost everything we eat is packaged in plastic. I bought a cucumber recently that was individually sealed in shrink-wrap plastic. Apples are being sold in styrofoam trays, jacketed in more plastic foam and covered with a plastic dome. One can buy a mouthful of pudding or yogurt or juice in its own damned plastic mini-container. Candy is wrapped in Mylar that will last millenia. Orange juice is sold in plastic jugs that is so ridiculously rugged one could store paint in them for centuries. We eat or drink something and the containers it comes in are not recycled and do not safely degrade. When I was a kid the thought of anyone buying water as a beverage in a plastic bottle would have been completely laughable. Our appliances, cars, furniture, computers, clothing, shoes, tools,- plastic, plastic,plastic... I am typing this rant on a plastic keyboard. There are continents of plastic clogging the oceans of the world. Sea creatures and ocean going birds are dying because they are jammed full of plastic. There are beaches that consist of more plastic particles than sand! It is an orgy of plastic today. It is fucking insane. We are endangering ourselves and the entire ecosystem with this run-a-way thoughtless plastic nightmare.

    Yea, instead of admitting patriarchy is real and ruining women’s lives. Actually there is no 2 genders even. It is the one gender, the one tool of oppression of women by men. And a policy of gender identity aims to hide this fact.
