About three months ago I brought a guitar online. A bit less than $1000.
Company I never ordered before from called me, asked me Q's from my credit report "In 2001, did you own a White Toyota Corolla?"
Made me fill out a form they emailed me.
Then, the guitar which was "in Stock" when I placed the order online became "Backorder". I just cancelled after 10 weeks of limbo.
Today I found you can't wire transfer more than a piddling amount less than the monthly wage of an average (not as much as NY or CA average) Public School Teacher with a few years' experience, between two domestic banks without filling out a form in person at a branch, and confirming a text message code.
Online sucks. In the end I just called somebody up and my problem was solved in 2 minutes.

I would say this graph will also work for before computers were invented and when AI was publicized.

Maybe the UFOs will return, the ones that disappeared when smartphones became obiquitous.

Perhaps I shouldn't have made a new AI thread this week - did not know about this one.
So.
I'll just post this right here:
