LOVE:
My electric shock foot massager. It uses teeny tiny shocks of electricity to activate the muscles. It feels *SO* good.
HATE:
Probably...AI devices like Alexa, Siri, Google Assistant... Ect. They listen in on all your conversations and doesn't let you have any privacy.
HATE: AI humans that will probably kill us.
Love: The new VR set.
i do not love it but i find very useful and practical: the ability to pay with my phone or a card instead of messing around with cash. i also like online shopping, the possibility to find an item for the cheapest (even second hand options) in no time, whenever i want to. especially great in case of books.
hate: social media. i despise it in its current form i only use it with a pseudonym and i dont ever post anything personal.
I love my electric car. It's convenient for my needs - can drive to and from work and charge it at home. All the cameras and sensors make driving and parking easier and safer.
Hate - photo filters and editing software. I can absolutely see a use for these things in some contexts - eliminating red eye for example - but I believe its dangerous for our mental health to be constantly exposed to these perfectly shot photos of people and places. If you go on Instagram, though, the photos with more likes always seem to be the ones that have most likely been enhanced. It seems I'm in a minority of people who want to see reality.
