Hilariously Antiquated!
It’s amazing how far we’ve come, technically, in twelve years.
shareTechnologically we aren't really much different than whatt is in this film, that we have accepted using the net for stuff like online orders was the bigger hurdle most wanted to see the dot com bubble fail at the time.
We just integrate technology into our lives more these days, not that the tech has rapidly advanced, the acceptance has
the hardware spec and transmission speeds grew exponentially , and the users and programmers got lazy and bloated .
We think nothing of whatsapping a 12mg jpeg for people to look at on a 3" screen when a 50kb one would have done the same job.
its good that taxers and shopping and shit is now fully set up on line though.
finally!
"Shopping" has for some reason been the goal since the 70s when the first machines in the home found the phone line .
Not sure why - the potential for sharing data has far more exciting possibilities
but people were just obsess3ed with ordering their groceries online .
and it took untill the 2020 pandemic for that to really happen !
But tranmissionspeeds isn't a technology imorovement,itis a commercial viabiity and infrastructure change, we had he capability to lay down high fideity cable long ago, just that phone lines were there so why mess withbwhat works if no profit
Ehat we have rellly been seeing is a trickling of technology slowly coming in that we long knew how to do, and consumer applications of that .
I remember once comming across a list of failed dot coms and how many of them were shoppung related that came back like grocery shopping, and pet suff, consumer acceptance drives the appearance of tech booms
