Seeing screenshots of ICS makes me feel pretty nostalgic about my old Galaxy Nexus. I don’t remember having any complaints about it. Anyone else feel the same way?

    Tech was more exciting in those days. Things were improving so fast, and there was a lot of freedom for users to make their device ans services their own. Things are more buttoned down now, and while many things work better, it isn’t as exciting. When I first turned on my Galaxy Nexus I felt like I had teleported to the future. The device had its issues (hilariously short battery so. I always carried a spare, screen burn in, and heating), but the thing still works!

      Imagine the start of the PC revolution. Also pretty exciting times.

      Mature tech just isn’t as fun.

      I totally felt the same way about my Galaxy Nexus and pretty much every phone until recent times. Although I do wonder whether it’s really about the devices or us just being older now!
