Early adopters chose a frustrating life.

We use broken yet interesting things.

The interesting broken things are really amazing, yet no one is convinced.

We use them alone and wonder why no one cares.

Sometimes the interesting broken thing dies, because a couple of the early adopters realize how they can make money off of it.

Slowly it becomes like everything else, and the early adopter goes out looking for a new frustrating interesting broken thing.

And the cycle of the early adopters life continues. nostr:note14zlulsqq5jj84f89qz84jpwc27wh66dx3jdxhje5e68xm3dt762q3swwxr

I remember using an MP3 player that could host only 8 songs on a 32MB flash memory back in 1997.

I had the first phone that was also an mp3 player. I was the coolest kid in school.

This post reminded me of the Impressionists because they also embraced things that seemed “broken” at first glance. Instead of striving for the smooth, polished perfection that was expected of art in their time, they left visible brushstrokes, capturing a sense of rawness and movement. To many, it looked unfinished or even wrong, but that’s exactly what made it so powerful. They saw beauty in imperfection, in what others dismissed. Like early adopters, they were drawn to the unconventional, the misunderstood—and in doing so, they created something completely new.
