I'm so grateful for flat LCD screens. Man, all those CRT boxes. Yikes.

The rest of this video, it doesn't look like the world has changed all that much since 1995. Computing just kind of looks the same. I guess minus the lack of phones in everyone's hands.

And the fact that the UIs are less responsive and have worse UX now.

My UI is pretty responsive. Of course, I also don't run MacOS or Windows, so...

I guess you also don't run any Electron apps?
