Relative Struggles

Today I was pissed off for a few minutes because my Apple Universal Clipboard wasn’t working properly — I was trying to copy a URL from my iPhone but I couldn’t paste it on my Macbook. And then I thought about how crazy such a feature is. If I could travel through time and explain this struggle in a conversation with someone from 50 years ago, I don’t think they’d even comprehend the issue. My iPhone and my Macbook, which both carry more processing power than the most powerful supercomputers back then, cannot wirelessly copy text from one device to another. To this hypothetical person from 50 years ago, would that even be considered a problem? It feels crazy that an unfathomable technology can turn into a menial, everyday feature within the span of just a few decades…
