The interesting part about this part for me is how subtly differences in software and hardware change what we use.

Without noticing, I stopped turning on the screen for my Linux machine during 2012. By the time I moved to a new apartment in October of 2012, I did not even bother plugging the machine back and to this date, I have yet to turn it on.

That represents to me exactly how new technology is adapted and how old ones die off. Fascinating.
