There was a time, when not every household had a computer. A time where kids were playing without stuff supported or made by computers. Not everything was better back then, but the world did not collapse due to unoptimized processes. In contrary, I believe that alot of things were more &#x27;personal&#x27; in the past, but this is highly subjective.<p>Technology made alot of stuff possible which would not be possible without technology. But the tradeof is, that we must live with systems which increase in complexity each year we use them. And there&#x27;s no end in sight.<p>We developers in some way are trying to get out of the hole we dug ourselves into. Think about this the next time a framework comes along which solves all problems of the previous one. At some point you&#x27;d wish back the former days, when everything was simpler...
