Smartphone Then and Now
2009: It’s a smartphone it can do anything! 2022: Stare into this nightmare brick and watch a country be invaded in real time.
A two-panel meme shows a smiling man excitedly holding a smartphone in 2009, contrasted with the same man grimly staring at a phone in 2022. The joke contrasts early optimism about smartphones with their later role as portals to real-time war coverage and distressing news, making it a reaction to technology fatigue and bleak modern life.
