Electronic waste

Posted on

I dug up this picture of my desk from 2010… 15 years ago. Of all the electronics visible (and there are a lot if you look closely…including the calculator and the camera) they have all been relegated to the recycling bin.  (Actually so have the desk, shelves and chair  lol…) The very last thing I was using was the Apple keyboard which got replaced last week… so all in all I think the sometimes outrageous price of Apple products is worth the while.

I still have the ipad (1st gen) and one of the apple mices but both are in a box and only used in an emergency. Actually looking closer I still use those speakers so  I guess they are the winners 🙂

Speaking of AI

Facebook has an irritating new feature that puts an AI prompt under every post and picture, often offering to explain all there is to know about the subject matter.

But under a recent image of Calvin and Hobbes playing Calvinball it went just a bit too far. Explain the rules of Calvinball? Ha! I triple dare ya…

I keep on my desk a Roman coin that in about 16 years will be two thousand years old. It reminds me that ‘this too shall pass’ and that the passing is not always guaranteed to be be all that pleasant. But all in all it’s still a symbol of hope for me.
