    Remember the term “PDA” “Personal Digital Assistant?” From like the PalmOS days?

    At this point a smart phone is a PDA that ate a cell phone to gain its power. I never hear the term PDA in the real world anymore, but video games use it for in-universe gadgets often used to justify the inventory menu or whatever. Subnautica does it.

      My dad used a Palm from the late 90s to roughly 2007-8 when he got one of the early HTC Androids, the ones with a trackball. Then he got a Palm Pre and that shit was good… even though the devices today are vastly more powerful I feel that the market regressed in many ways
