I wish Neopets would get with the times and make an app.
I wonder if WP should too?

...it hasn't?
i'm legit surprised, not only at the fact that it is still up, but because it seems like literally everything, and everyone else has made an app for themselves whereas neopets is still browser bound.
(did club penguin ever have an app...?)i guess alex & the other admins don't have the money or time to develop an app. and perhaps that is/was the case for neopets too. and aside from the usual forum glitches that happen on desktop browsers, i'm perfectly fine using it on my phone's browser.

It's amazing, really; fifty years ago none of this stuff existed. Now it's like people can't live without it.
It's kind of frightening. People are far too dependent on technology. What would happen if it all suddenly broke down? Mass chaos?
well in some cases people *literally* can't live without it, those who depend on the recent advances in medicine and healthcare to keep them going, that is. but then that invokes quality of life concerns, and the fear that dehumanization could result from being kept alive by a nonliving entity. should their lifegiving technology be spared?
what "technology" are you referring to? picking your nose and using the bogies to plug a leak is technology. hardcover books are technology. you are certainly not wrong to be fearful about the direction we are headed, and i empathize, but this is a concern that has been expressed since....forever...
just an example; i personally am frightened by the amount of "drive by wire" that is going into modern cars, the amount of features and mechanisms that are controlled by software is astounding.
brake by wire on one of the world's most unreliable car makes...certainly, nothing can go wrong, eh?!?!
most everything is hackable, and it seems like new technological products are being forced on people much faster than they can be perfected, tried and trusted. i def don't want to be a guinea pig for a self driving car, but that's a whole 'nother story.
but yeah, i think there will be some chaos, but eventually we will settle in the ways we once were in. some will be more pained than others. then we'll build it back up again because damn, if humans don't love to go forward.
