Hot Take:

2024 was the year technology took a swan dive off the hype cliff, leaving us with failed gadgets, epic outages, and a tech landscape that looked more like a blooper reel than a vision of the future. It’s like watching a sitcom where the punchline is your own tech-induced misery!

Key Points:

  • Oracle’s tech misadventures led to financial and operational chaos.
  • The Internet Archive faced cyber attacks and a massive lawsuit.
  • Epic tech outages crowned Facebook as the most disconnected king.
  • Apple’s Vision Pro goggles flopped with no killer apps in sight.
  • Microsoft’s intrusive AI left users creeped out and confused.
