A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It was right there with flying cars and domed cities on the moon. That was part of the whole Disneyworld/OMNI Magazine promise about life in the year 2000.

I was part of the first generation brought up with computers, and I've been spending my entire life since trying to figure out what went wrong and how to teach myself all of the things that computers failed to convey, while everyone tries to exploit the "gap" to attack their political opponents. It's been a riot.

You don't hate the computer teaching. You hate the corporate owner of said computer teaching.

No, it's more than that. A computer, at least until we develop some sort of AGI, has no compassion, no understanding of human emotions, no actual awareness of who it is teaching.
