There’s a strange situation in technology. Language Learning Models are taking AI to the next level. Yet, has this tech truly made life better? It’s as if we have the worse of the two scenarios. There’s increasing job automation, which forces people out of jobs, but we also have a problem with inflation. Who wants a future where there are no jobs, but everything costs too much? That’s when I started wondering, why isn’t technology solving real problems? Even with all of our fancy gadgets, why does innovation feel so stale lately?

A Christmas Card
On this website, there are lots of resources for learning web development and web design. And when deciding what should be the final item on the 12 Days of Christmas Gift Ideas for 2024, why not apply those creative skills? Why not make a gift? I made a Christmas Card for you!
A Board Game Question
Have you played board games with your co-workers? This question popped into my head while working on the “Colorforms Board Games” video, as part of the Twelve Days of Christmas Gift Ideas playlist on Photics.TV (YouTube). Three inexpensive board games were tested — Battleship, Monopoly, and Scrabble Junior. Even though all three games were under four bucks, it was a fun experience.
Trump Gets A Mulligan
The first three years of the first Donald Trump presidency were fairly normal, but that fourth year was an incredible mess. Looking back, Trump wasn’t the best at hiring the best people. Now that he has a better perspective, will he do a better job this time? Well, just look at the order of speakers at the Madison Square Garden rally. Before Trump spoke, it was his wife Melania. And before that, it was Elon Musk.
One Quarter-Century
Twenty-five years ago today, Photics.com was created. In human years, that’s a long time! Back in 1998, the Space Shuttle was still in active service. The first iMac launched in 1998, with that iconic Bondi Blue color. The first Matrix movie would launch the following summer. It would be two years until the launch of the Xbox in 2001. Prince was still alive and getting ready to party like it was 1999.
