This is so interesting! I read recently about the idea of a digital dark age and it freaked me out…time to back everything up immediately. I miss offline computer apps…or programs as we used to call them…

Digital dark age sounds so scary 🥹I’m making a bunch of offline apps for personal use, will release those soon.

I miss the days when Office was an offline tool.. every device is now just a terminal interface to one cloud or another.. or multiple clouds..with licenses that control even access to your data..

Those days won’t be back but new apps can be different!

That's very interesting. I honestly haven't thought about that. I only started researching Human Computer Interaction about a year ago. I've learned since a lot about social media platform design, but I've never thought about all the applications that are online and don't need to be.

It's awesome that you looked into Human Computer Interaction — fascinating (and very new field). I will be publishing more about application culture and how things are shifting. We are in for an indescribable 'update' to how we treat information.

Yes, I agree with you on that 100%! I'm excited to look into more areas of HCI and looking forward to read more from you how things are shifting.
