“I guess I am saddened, not by Microsoft’s success. I have no problem with their success. They’ve earned their success for the most part. I have a problem with the fact that they just make really third-rate products. Their products have no spirit to them. Their products have no spirit or enlightenment about them. They are very pedestrian. And the sad part is that most customers don’t have a lot of that spirit either. But the way that we’re going to ratchet up our species is to take the best and to spread it around to everybody, so that everybody grows up with better things and starts to understand the subtlety of these better things. And Microsoft’s just… It’s McDonald’s.”
- Steve Jobs, age 40.
Web 1.0 - daily blogging is back!
With social media, content is at the mercy of algorithms and platform rules, advertising and “suggestions” poison these apps.
social media posts are almost immediately forgotten, and with blogging.. there is a sense of legacy, where it is building something that lasts, something to revisit.
You are not being forced to see unwanted content decided by the social platforms. Here, you are in a world outside of algorithms.
welcome to the art life.
