What Used to Matter
In the depths of the forgotten, where the dust bunnies roam free, there existed a time when things actually matteredæk.
We're talking about the era of beepers, dial-up, and encyclopedias. When a 56k modem was the pinnacle of internet speed and 'information superhighway' was just a thing.
It was an age of wonder, of 'will it fit in the box?' and 'can it be plugged into the wall?'.
But alas, those days are behind us now. Replaced by the sleek, the modern, and the soulless.
Or so we're told.
But deep down, don't you feel it too? A pang of nostalgia for when the world was a little less... (insert dramatic music)
The Ghosts of What Used to Be
Where the ghosts of what used to matter roam, lost in the void of progress.
They whisper tales of a bygone era, of What Used to Matter and What Was Coming Next
What Was Coming Next
The eternal tease of 'just around the corner'.
Remember when 'next year' meant something, and 'next week' was a promise?
When 'beta' was the pinnacle of innovation and 'update' was a verb?
Those were the days of What Was Next
What Was Next
The land of 'in a bit' and 'just you wait'.
Where 'feature complete' was a myth, and 'shipping' was a distant memory.
A world of 'just one more prophets' and 'it's almost there'.
Where the future was promised, but never delivered.
