There’s this saying that kept stuck in my head ever since the first time I heard it, Back to Basic
I don’t remember when or where I heard it first, but it has something to do with the Windows 10 icon
And now, I just watched an essay video about Netflix demise and I remember about this saying again
The video mention something along the line of “streaming services now became just like cable tv again”
And I was like, yeah it’s back to basic again
I mean, look at that! ever since Windows Vista the logo icon seems like evolving back to its basic oldest form
And btw, that post is from 2012… so I probably heard about this saying the first time around 2012 as well. Probably when I was too excited with Windows 8, and installed that on my netbook
Also, I don’t quite sure, I think Windows been stuck with that Win8 logo
But back to my point, let’s give some more example
It was cable tv then streaming service then it seems like it’s going back to cable tv like streaming service
Also, that Epic Game Store phenomenon. From exclusivity (platform specific, ps only, Nintendo only) to cross platform (Xbox play anywhere) to platform lock (That Fortnite PlayStation locking) idk
Windows Form to UWP to Windows Form again
Web Pages to Apps to PWA (Basically Web App)
For me personally, from netbook to laptop to computer to netbook again and will be laptop again in the near future (For college)
What else? hmm
Oh yeah, it also reminded me of that theory I called as Species singularities, which for some reason I can’t find which post I mentioned that in
Hmmm…. think again me!
Oh yeah, we grow up. From being a baby to teenager to adult to old
From being an incapable little baby that can’t walk to a powerful adult and back incapable
Which is sad tbh
This might be a good principle, maybe I can use this in the future
I think I just thought of a really good saying
To predict the future, we need to know the past~
Which reminded me of another saying that stuck in my head
Those who forget history, are doomed to repeat it
Seems like I came up with a good observation~
