Twenty years of this. Written by Charlie Brooker (Black Mirror) and Chris Morris (Brass Eye, Four Lions).
It predicted mobile social media, influencer morons, techbro bores, infantile toxic masculinity, and general mass stupidity.

This afternoon, I am using 1980’s software intended for teaching students of electronics the basics of the subject.
I have a working knowledge of electronics and computing, and I’ve found it to be very clear and concise, without the usual distractions of the postmodern world.

Running “Make a Chip” right now. Not just for gaming, I’m interested to experience how information technology and productivity software of the not-so-connected past compares.

At least I live an era where my tv is effectively a time machine. Grandstand football results, and the bleeper.
From 81-87 usual Saturday afternoon tv at home, and 1988-1995 at My Nan’s bungalow in Cwmtwrch.

2025>: Like something out of an 80s/90s dystopian film about our dying future.
