Love Letter to Analog

The DORK Side

Do you use AI? Of course you do, even if you don’t know it.

Alexa, any assistance via phone or computer. AI is everywhere, even where you don’t realize it.

Ever used the following:

  • Dial-up internet: Celebrate the symphony of connection — that screechy modem song, the thrill of 19,200 baud, and yelling at someone to get off the phone.
  • Cassette tapes & Walkman: Rewinding with a pencil like a surgeon.
  • Rotary phones & tethered conversations: You had to sit still to talk — imagine that.
  • Maps: The original GPS — Guaranteed Panic System.
  • Boredom as a feature, not a bug: We were forced to create, not consume.
