This is a rant, most of it self-directed, so add salt to taste.<p>We live in a bubble. A bubble out of which we force ourselves not to look out of. A bubble filled with screens and frequent dopamine hits. We smile, we snicker, we chuckle, and whenever something doesn't agree with us, we instantly reply with our disagreement.<p>We don't want to look up, outside the window, feel the breeze and see life as it is going on around us. People walking, talking, communicate using many things beside a keyboard and emojis. Mostly using tones of voice, facial expressions, body language. Even more so with things they can touch, feel, read on things which are tangible, not worrying about going out of charge, or talking about formats, or apps.<p>This is life. Not the bits and bytes. Not the communication protocols, not the APIs, coding methodologies, frameworks, editors, tabs, spaces. Those are for machines to talk to other machines, not to people.<p>Like @dmit mentioned, analog still rules our world, if only we were to open our eyes. I don't mean analog in the electronic sense, but in the physical sense. There are myriad of colours, not just black and white, let alone greys.<p>We are still mechanical in our heads, and physical in our hands.<p>We are not the machines we use. I don't want to write on a screen. I want to write on paper. I want to give it to a machine. Let it do what it's for. Let the person the paper is given to, scribble on it, change it, send it back. I talk to the person and the deal is done. No version control required. If machines are there for both of us to fulfill the tasks we need to do, let them do it properly. That's what they are there for.<p>Okay, end of rant. I don't know where this is going anyway. But good for Japan to stick to what works. Making machines of people should not be considered development. Making machines for people should be.
