One IT expert told me he'll only use Windows 7! Planned obsolescence is something I avoid by stopping all and every use of that manufacturer as it affects the item in use. So, 2026 is when I will probably stop all use of any computer, etc. And I will purchase a non digital 'phone' if they're still around. My 'digital' items are slowly being disconnected from the Internet as the tech guys play with truth which, to me, is immutable. Are we being forced back into real 'dark ages'?

I can relate to what you’re feeling.

And honestly - with all the new tech rolling out, it does feels less like innovation and more like planned obsolescence.

I also wonder if we’re heading back into some kind of “dark ages.” and honestly I dont think there is a straight answer to that, sometimes it feels like that, sometimes it doesn't.

Is anything even real, anymore? Maybe it is, Maybe it isn't.
