We all work with computers so much that I think we become immune to the absolute *wonder* that so much of modern life does what it does, largely unnoticed until it breaks, all thanks to (as somebody on here once said) "teaching sand how to think".
For all the irritations of technology, the number of astonishing things that happen so that I can type this and y'all can read it is amazing.
@darkuncle Often I pop open a desktop terminal, type a few letters, and control a computer on the other side of the planet. Sometimes I do it wirelessly. Sometimes I use my phone to do it. It never ceases to amaze me, and that isn't even thinking about the sand at work. 😲
Heh - I once fixed an emergency work outage on my cellphone at Disneyland with my family, via a remote desktop app and some *serious* squinting and zoom/pan around.
