What would consumer electronics be like if everyone was

>>56187876
Everyone would be as dumb as shit

>>56187876
Holy shit the world would make the worst purchase decisions ever.

>>56187876
Everyone would be pretty familiar with hardware that's about 20 years old.

There would be really poor industrial design. Everything would look like shit

My thinkpad would be much more expensive

Laptops would go back to 4:3 screens.
Laptops without replacable ram/hdd/battery would not exist.
Every laptop would have a trackpoint instead of trackpad.

Computers would be ugly and extremely practical.
They would also be extremely expensive because they would never have reached the proliferation that they have today.

The truth is that most people don't need a computer in their lives, they never have.
As soon as phone and tablets became good enough to display facebook and funny cat pictures, people stopped buying prebuilt desktops and laptops.

Computers would look like this but with modern technology.

we wouldn't have pcs because I can't into maths

>>56187947
on the contrary, all OSes would have perfected easy keyboard controls long ago, and there would only be a palmrest.

>>56188019

I miss old-style pepsi cans.

All consumer electronics are doomed, the world will end because more companies would switch to GPLv3

>>56187876

No one would ever buy anything because they'd always be waiting for the next product cycle.

>>56188446
Nah. Product lifetimes would be much longer because user serviceable with replaceable and upgrade parts.

>>56187876
Boxes would have full specifications on them.

not shilling, but it could happen now.
