I was pondering this as I read, as well. I would be a bit disconcerted to find that a coworker was recording EVERYTHING they say all day and that meant I was on those recordings throughout the week. The lack of any acknowledgement of that piece in this writeup is a little confusing... I don't question their intent but I do question their lack of awareness of others (based on the writing).

I feel you. We got our first computer in, I think, 1994? I was 12. It was a Gateway 2000 486 something. haha I can't remember the letters on the end. It was magic. Oh, and AOL of course.

It continued to feel that way because it was kind of newer territory to a lot of people in general. Now, it is just standard... everywhere... I think the mass adoption is the fun killer. It was much more niche back then.

I can understand that. I have a habit of doing that with things I could just be enjoying more. BUT I do love seeing other people's book lists to add more books to me "Need to read" list!

This is spoken like someone that has yet to really face any real and lengthy incredibly stressful life events. I really wish I could be this privileged and out of touch to make a statement like this.

Yeah... It's like child support laws here where I live (never had to pay child support, have a friend that is a lawyer). They can hold you indefinitely until you come up with what they need. Forgot the password? Ah well, how convenient! We have this place just for you to sit and hopefully.one day remember!

Child support here, while I agree it should be being paid but people can run into hard times, is sort of like this but more ridiculous. If you are.behind on child support, they jail you indefinitely until you can pay it.... But you are in jail indefinitely and likely have lost your job if you had one. So....
