FFX will always be the epitome of 2000's futurism for me.
Like when they go play Blitzball and that city that is futuristic (Bevelle i think), yet tribal, along with all the use of the colour yellow and beach vibes.

That said, the pic in OP's post, after 1 year of use, will be filled with water marks from cleaning, fingerprints, static dust deposits, food and debris etc. All highlighted by the material choice allowing so much light you can see all the imperfections.

Don’t listen to the brownskins and newfags, OP. Frutiger Aero was the last time a white man spawned authentic industrial design for the last other white men of this world. The nineties were the last decade with soul because it was the last chance the white man had to impress his aesthetic upon the modern zeitgeist, in terms of practical utility.

Sharp released full color LCD display in 1988, which was the holy grail of the display industry. US was seething and did everything it could to undermine Sharp. By 2000, the display market was filled with Korean and Taiwan cheap knock-offs, and our Sharp lost all profitability and dead. Gaijins are dirty and they do anything when they are losing.

It's definitely AI. There's also 3 earbuds, instead of 2. That ipod mini is color, which never existed, and it has a play/pause button in the middle of the scroll wheel. The cell phone has an awkward antenna poking up the top-middle of the screen. There's an inexplicable hard drive or CD drive rack on the left side? I could go on, but that's enough examples.

I just miss when the future looked hopeful, I feel like we had a reason to look forward to what the future might bring.
The 90's was such a perfect blend of tech and culture, going from Sega Genesis and SNES to PlayStation and N64 felt so revolutionary, I will never forget the day I witnessed Tekken 3 in the arcades, to my 13 year old eyes it looked real.
I guess what I'm trying to say is fuck kikes.

Normal use scuffs it over time because the plastic is relatively soft. All it takes is one little spec of dirt rubbing on it.
Opaque plastic scratches just as easily, but it's way more noticeable with the clear glossy material.

Go to a LLM and ask this: "Can you give me a deep dive into memetics so i can better understand how multiple people existing at the same time in the same culture may come to the exact same preference for a subject or topic or theme despite being independent agents".

That should clear up any lingering questions, if you don't want a deepdive, ask for a concise summary.

>muh llm
Yeah, i can write it all out, 2,000 characters at a time, post by post - but an LLM will functionally print it out in a better format, with more sources, with the ability to focus down on specifics in 100ms.

that was bullshit design, I remember this from 1999 to 2003-2004. Shortlife because shitty.
80s aesthetics lives decades and first wave back to the 80s was from 2003 driven by Vice City. Just after 13 years after the 80s end.

You don't have similiar nostalgia to 00s slop. That was worse design than 90s office equipment design. Today people builds custom cyberdeck laptops and guess, nobody build in 00s aesthetics. Because it looks like from asian street market.

It didn't but since it's just one of many nice aesthetics it would never be in the spotlight forever. Still, just like efforts were made to bring it about in the first place, it just needed to be supported by high quality products to keep going, or return. You know aesthetics return every now and then and the next time it can be even better due to advancements in other fields. But who will lead the effort?

Those things should be seperate again. Internet should only be accessible through physical cable. Phones should only do call/voicemail/text, nothing else. Physical media (CD) should be king again. CD technology should be improved to be archival M-disc-like quality. Ipod is only a backup. GPS, Phone, Computer/Internet, MP3 player, CD player, all seperate things, and social media websites should be much smaller and localized, and most shopping should be done at stores, online shopping kept to a minimum, or none at all. Everyone goes back outside and interacts with eachother. As God fucking intended. Pre-9/11 as well as around 2005/2006ish were the last semi-normal years. 2007 was the end of the world.
