I have tried everything to increase efficiency on this blog. Currently, I am working on AI/Automation model that should get posts from 2022 posted before 2032. But the biggest piece of tech that has contributed to my slowdown is the retirement of my BlackBerry (see You Broke My Heart, Blackberry. You Broke My Heart). For those of you still traumatized by the loss of your BlackBerry and unable to type on a touchscreen, there is good news. At CES 2026, a company called Clicks launched the ‘Communicator‘. It’s a BlackBerry-style device that was designed by those who brought us our favorite BlackBerry products (Do you remember the BlackBerry Bold?).
The tagline for the phone is ‘Designed for doing, not doomscrooling’. Whether it be spending time on your favorite adult website (see Free Pornhub: Will That Help People Finally Stay Home?) or being hypnotized by toxic social media, scrolling is an addiction. This phone presents the opportunity to kick that bad habit. With all the time saved from looking down, I wonder what I will see when I finally look up. There is still a world out there to discover.
