#2000s futurism

[bonzibum]

The UMPC or the Ultra-Mobile Personal Computer was a new technological trend in the 2000s. Following the 90s where clunky and beige was the norm, pc makers created a frenzy of making everything smaller and smaller, eventually leading to these handheld computers. Although at the time they were perceived by many to be the future of computing, the trend died out rather quickly, probably due to the fact that it was not as convenient as one may think and it definitely was not much cheaper than a full size pc. The most notable models are the OQO models 1 and 2 or the Sony Vaio UX both of which mostly ran Windows XP but later ran newer OSs such as Vista. I think these things are very neat and really show a testament of technological advancement in the 2000s! :-)

The robins’ arrested development is fascinating to me on a meta level.

The first child sidekick of the golden age of comics, never meant to be a man, a child for forty years who fought and demanded the right to grow up.

The second robin is slain in his career’s infancy. An unaging symbol of lost innocence because innocence itself was no longer required. Who burst back out of his grave unwillingly, in a man’s body, dragged into adulthood all at once. A child killed twice over.

The third robin, who was comfortable in his place as a child as a sidekick, evicted because someone else needed that spot, only to be wedged back into the box. Not quite a man, but he can’t go back to being a boy either, stuck in the in between.

And the fifth robin, still a child. Destined to grow into an adult role that will never be vacated, and so cannot grow up.
