Day 22,073

Evie Day 342

Good morning, and a happy humpday to you all. Today is 21 February 2024.

There was a time in my life that I wondered what life would be like in 2024. Now I sit here with a computer on my lap, connected to the entire world, and the news is on in the background, being shown on a huge flat-panel screen I could only have imagined as a kid.

I remember when a 19″ television screen was big. That evolved into one of those oversized console televisions that took two people to move if you wanted to run a vacuum cleaner.

There are some aspects of life that I kind of hoped for but have yet to pass. Vehicles on the road have four wheels or two wheels, with the occasional three-wheeled oddball made in Canada or overseas. Of course, there are delivery vehicles and long-haul vehicles that have more wheels, but there aren’t any flying cars preparing to lift off the highway. It might happen someday, but I don’t expect to see the sky filled with flying cars in my lifetime.

The big play of the day is Artificial Intelligence. I use it daily. It can do some pretty amazing things, including helping me organize my day. I’ll be throwing a few queries into CoPilot after I’m done with this blog – I already used it to generate a list of five blog prompts and one of the ideas was to talk about technology, where we came from, where we are, and where we’ll be going.

It’s pretty amazing, even without the flying cars.

I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.

Peace y’all.
