Palms were offline devices that only synced with your computer when put on a docking station.
You could read and reply to emails offline, book or cancel meetings, and sync with your computer later. The latest versions allowed you to snap pictures and listen to your music.
No servers running constantly. No data spilled everywhere. Days worth of battery on a single charge.
The future stole our cables, and it took our attention span and our privacy with it.

@xdydx@mastodon.social @thibaultamartin@mamot.fr I used to think of it purely from a technical perspective - what is technically possible, given the technical constraints?
Now I see it from a more human perspective. Considering all the key people around me, most of which are not technically minded - what do I need to sensibly do, in order to sufficiently “play ball” with them, as it were?
