10.03.25: Endless Notifications

The scariest dystopia isn’t robots rising up, it’s endless notifications. Imagine a future where your fridge pings you about milk expiring, your couch tells you to sit straighter, your toothbrush sends a dental report to your boss. No rebellion. No dramatic wars. Just an avalanche of reminders until we drown in alerts. You wouldn’t even fight back—you’d just click “snooze” until eternity. Honestly, I think we’re halfway there. My phone already vibrates so often I dream in buzzes. If the machines wanted to take over, all they’d need to do is keep reminding us to update firmware.
