1960: the people of 2024 will have flying cars, 2 day work weeks, and be colonizing space
2024: "why is everybody mad at me today" i wonder as i stare at the notifications on my pocket depression rectangle
1990: the people of 2024 will be more productive than ever because computers will make everything easier
2024: me staring at my screen clicking for hours "what counts as a motorcycle? does the person riding the bicycle count as part of the bicycle? does the walk signal count as a traffic light? is this small white edge part of the crosswalk!? why won't you LET ME JUST BUY THE GODDAMN MADOKA PLUSHY YOU ARE THE ONLY STORE THAT ISN'T GEOLOCKED FROM SENDING TO MY COUNTRY"
@ami_angelwings@urusai.social I get what you’re trying to say but at the same time we are much more productive than ever due to technology, but the expected output of us continues to grow past the point of reason. You’re expected to do what would have taken weeks to do by hand 40 years ago in about an hour.
@ami_angelwings@urusai.social not only that, but due to instant communication you end up getting asked multiple times in a row if you’re done yet, which can add to stress making you rush through things making more work for yourself in the end. The state of micromanagement because we have software that exports your employee’s productivity metrics into a centralized system so you can fire the least productive employee at the tip of your fingertips? We’ve gotten to the point that you’re expected to do inhuman amounts of work with a computer algorithm breathing down your neck ready to fire you for the slightest decrease. It’s no fucking wonder right like, I hate this. I genuinely hate this I work in IT, I am a tech person and even I say I think some shit should stay far far away. IM such as slack and ms teams should never have been a thing, the fact that you’re expected to drop everything to respond to your boss nearly instantly? If you’re entering values in excel and you’re like me that single distraction can make you lose your place and you’ll spend at least 5 minutes trying to get back.

You are like word for word repeating this comic strip

(like just thought it was interesting I didn't mean to imply you were plagiarizing or smthn)
@puppygirlhornypost2 @ami_angelwings Also, more productivity never turned into better wages, despite being an advertised feature. All that extra money went to the bag of stupid already millionaire assholes with hoarder tendencies.
@Fanua@mas.to@ami_angelwings This is me, often. 
@ami_angelwings they got it all wrong. the people of 2024 will be more depressed than ever because computers do all the work (badly) but everyone is still expected to work 40 hours per week plus unpaid overtime that is implicitly required even though there isn't enough work for everyone
@thatKomputerKat@oldbytes.space@ami_angelwings @MLE_online I’ve never once asked these questions and just assumed it was the option that meant selecting the least number of squares possible which always seems to work fine.
What always makes me laugh is when it clearly wanted me to label a bicycle as a motorcycle.
