The only time I've ever seen a folding smartphone in person it had a huge, extremely noticeable crease across the screen. The phone was otherwise in good shape from what I could tell.

When foldable screens first came out I thought to myself, "wow that's pretty neat, but what will it look like after several months/years of typical usage? It'll probably have a crease noticeable enough that I would never want to use one." Turns out I wasn't too far off. No thanks, I'll stick with a regular screen.

Hidden Figures. Not quite what you want, but pretty close. The Imitation Game is also worth a watch.

edit: Sorry. I misunderstood your question. It's late and I read it as you asking for movies about early computing, not actually explanatory videos.

By "middlemen" does she mean "the insurance industry"?

I've platinumed every version of every FROM Soulsborne game on every platform that has trophies/achievements.

We're currently in it. Failing to create a clean, renewable, and scalable energy source powerful enough to run a society that is ever increasing in both population and technology without destroying their only inhabited planet has got to be the most common great filter.

Asteroids strikes, super volcanoes, solar CMEs, and other planetary or cosmetic phenomena that exactly line up in both severity and timing are too rare IMO.

Every society that attempts to progress from Type 1 to Type 2 has to deal with energy production. Most will fail and they will either regress/stagnate or destroy themselves. Very few will successfully solve the energy problem before it is too late.

All of them are expensive, and almost all of them are ugly as fuck. And the ones that I would consider even decent looking enough to drive are even more expensive than the others.

Safely OR legally? Shouldn't that be "and"?
