Not really. There was a time when people weren't playing games.

AI isn't going away. Being aware of its energy usage can help people make decisions on a) whether to use it and b) how much to use it.

I remember what life was like in the early 80s as I began working. It is markedly improved in 2025. It’s not all roses and individual govts have failed in many ways, but overall life has much has improved. I would not want to go back to living as we did then.

For everyone. Govt created new laws to encourage cheaper airlines to start up. New laws to encourage new phone, cable & internet companies. Changed laws for unleaded petrol, cleaner coal and environmental standards. More govt investment in medical research and NHS and higher education/unis.

Cheaper, more accessible foreign travel. Better-heated homes. Ease of communication with others via mobile phone and email. Less polluted air. More access to higher education. Switch from manual manufacturing to office-based service economy. Better life expectancy. Lower serious crime rates.

Oh well done! My excuse is it’s early!
