yes, but i’m used to that already :)

So, like an 1840s telegraph, but a bit better and with more spyware?

Yep, and I remember when I got my first kindle e-ink reader, the first one they made, and was in awe because between that and the first iphone a few months earlier, it reminded me so much of the device described in Neal Stephenson's Diamond Age.

I got used to it, and the feeling went away.

I had a similar feeling when I got a bluetooth headset where I just had to tap and speak and Google would answer almost any question I had, no need to even half shout "OKAY GOOGLE" for my phone to hear. I now actually feel dumber without such a headset because I can't easily get answers to random questions.

So, yeah, we get used to these things. The measure of "being in the future" is less the awe we have at technological marvels and more the way they become common place and accepted.
