a baby is running through a doorway in a room . Alt: Baby toddles at speed into a hallway, immediately thinks better of that decision and toddles off rapidly back to where it came from

Getting some creepy Child's Play vibes there

Or, hear me out...

The horrifying sound of socks and flip-flops

Or a wireless charger, but yeah I get that.

However, the phone doesn't need to be plugged into a charger all the time.

Hipopotamws! 🦛

People complain about the loss of headphone jacks and the rise of loud sodcasting on public transport.

Meanwhile I've had headphones with a USB-C connector for years.

Why haven't these caught on?

Who let the duck in?!? 🎶

Yes, but it wasn't being *sold* as the thing that would put everyone out of work.

It promised a new exciting future, despite people's concerns.

What we're being sold now is this thing designed to replace human labour and human connections. Taking humans out of the loop, which is utterly bizarre.

Back in the day the internet was sold on the idea of making more human connections.

Of finally being able to communicate, make friends and sell products and services to people all over the world.

We were sold a positive and hopeful idea of the future for everyone.

That's the difference.

It never seemed to go anywhere, or it would and then the characters would have yet another setback.

Definitely worth another look from an adult perspective I reckon
