I see the numbers but exponential growth is hard for humans. 2012 feels like practically yesterday, with consumer tech having barely changed. Alexa came out in 2014, but prototypes for voice recognition had existed for years. It reminds me of how it felt in February with the covid news. It didn’t feel real that a virus that had yet to kill a single us citizen would cause such damage.
