They did not work anymore, but their technical capabilities were described on little placards. And they were impressive compared to what Kath Two and other modern people carried around in their pockets. This ran contrary to most people's intuition, since in other areas the achievements of the modern world - the habitat ring, the Eye, and all the rest - were so vastly greater than what the people of Old Earth had ever accomplished. It boiled down to Amistics [the choices that different cultures made as to which technologies they would, and would not, make part of their lives]. In the decades before Zero, the Old Earthers had focused their intelligence on the small and the soft, not the big and the hard, and built a civilization that was puny and crumbling where physical infrastructure was concerned, but astonishingly sophisticated when it came to networked communications and software. The density with which they'd been able to pack transistors onto chips still had not been matched by any fabrication plant now in existence. Their devices could hold more data than anything you could buy today. Their ability to communicate through all sorts of wireless schemes was only now being matched - and that only in densely populated, affluent places like the Great Chain... Anyone who bothered to learn the history of the developed world in the years just before Zero understood perfectly well that Tavistock Prowse had been squarely in the middle of the normal range, as far as his social media habits and attention span had been concerned.

Any efforts made by modern consumer-goods manufacturers to produce the kinds of devices and apps that had disordered the brain of Tav were met with the same instinctive pushback as Victorian clergy might have directed against the inventor of a masturbation machine. To the extent the Blue's engineers could build electronics of comparable sophistication to those that Tav had used, they tended to put them into devices such as robots...”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Neal Stephenson" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/neal-stephenson/it-was-possible-to-look-at-actual-smartphones-and-tablets-and-laptops/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d9a/neal-stephenson-362_attention-span_it-was-possible-to-look-at-actual-smartp_338033.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d9a/neal-stephenson-362_attention-span_it-was-possible-to-look-at-actual-smartp_338033.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d9a/neal-stephenson-362_attention-span_it-was-possible-to-look-at-actual-smartp_338033.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“It was possible to look at actual smartphones and tablets and laptops that had been manufactured on Old…” — Neal Stephenson", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "All we're really doing is repeating technologies that were tried 10, 20, 30 years ago... it's just that it was too expensive, too unusable, and we didn't have the enabling technologies to make it possible.", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Aaron Levie" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/aaron-levie/all-we-re-really-doing-is-repeating-technologies-that-were-tried-10/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/895/aaron-levie-7788_building_all-we-re-really-doing-is-repeating-tech_703646.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/895/aaron-levie-7788_building_all-we-re-really-doing-is-repeating-tech_703646.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/895/aaron-levie-7788_building_all-we-re-really-doing-is-repeating-tech_703646.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“All we're really doing is repeating technologies that were tried 10, 20, 30 years ago... it's just that it…” — Aaron Levie", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "These technologies can make life easier, can let us touch people we might not otherwise.
