Technology in perspective

Hello, my name is Teresa and I'm a newsletter addict.

Seriously, I subscribe to waaaay too many newsletters. Between my 4 email accounts, I must get about 500 emails a day (if not more) and probably 90% of those are newsletters. I end up deleting many of them that aren't from people I know. And of the rest, I save a lot that I rarely get around to reading.

Of the ones I randomly open, I will occasionally get some great nuggets of info. Like this one from Peter Sandeen's newsletter:

"I was working on an older laptop and noticed it was a bit slow. I wondered
if it just didn’t have enough RAM. That’s when I remembered that
the Apollo spacecraft needed 2KB of RAM to land on the Moon.
This emoji 👍🏻 uses more RAM than that."

Makes me think about how far we have come...and yet, from reading the news and how the world is politically, how far back we have slipped.
