That is becouse the ones that was asked are black holes. Consuming. More, bigger, faster.

Someone has to. Imagine going through life singing "Everything is awesome" all the time. What a nightmare.

Seriously, though, in terms of objective, measurable factors like public health or wealth distribution, the world has definitely moved forwards.

But there are other measures. Just yesterday, I heard on the radio about a study some guy whose name escaped me did in the US. He measured several things, of which I remember only one: counting how many drivers stopped at a STOP sign at an intersection. He did the count over a few weeks and logged it. Then came back a year later and repeated the experiment. He kept it for 15 years and the results are quite astonishing: people's consideration towards other people is in a steady decline. (I'd like to repeat that this was one of many experiments, he did not draw the conclusion from just one STOP sign.)

You may dismiss it as a hearsay and you would be right. I cannot provide a reference, do not have a name or any other details. All I have is, "I think I heard this somewhere". But my personal experience is pretty consistent with that study, even though I do not have any log of objective numbers to support me.

Pretty light. Pretty fast but no punch in the taste.

Finally some foldable phones. I think they will be awsome next year.
