What has quietly disappeared from our lives over the last 10 years… and most of us barely noticed?

Not everything disappears with an announcement. Some things simply become less common until one day you realise they are almost gone.

I. Cyber cafés — once essential for email, applications and browsing. Smartphones changed everything.

II. DVD/CD shops — streaming practically wiped out the culture of buying movies and music on discs.

III. Printed road maps — Google Maps and GPS made stopping to ask for directions almost unnecessary.

IV. Standalone digital cameras — for most people, the smartphone became the camera.

V. Handwritten letters — WhatsApp, email and DMs replaced something that once carried enormous emotional value.

VI. Phone numbers we actually memorised — our phones remember everyone for us now.

VII. Waiting for the evening news — today, news reaches you every second, whether you want it or not.

VIII. Going to the bank for simple transactions — mobile banking and mobile money quietly moved the bank into our pockets.

IX. Privacy and genuine offline time — we became permanently reachable, permanently online and increasingly observable.

X. Patience — perhaps the biggest one. We now expect food, money, information, entertainment, replies and results almost instantly.

Technology did not just give us new things.

It quietly removed old habits, businesses, skills and ways of living.

The interesting question is: what are we using today that will have completely disappeared by 2036?

The Linda Mwananchi paybill donations got little to do with crowd funding. Data is the thing here!

🚨 BREAKING: I asked Claude to improve my LinkedIn profile.

It didn’t just improve it. It made it a recruiter magnet.

Here are the 11 exact prompts I used:

WPP Scangroup's AGM turned into a battle between founder Bharat Thakrar and majority shareholder WPP Plc over the future of the company.

Here's what happened in the thread below:

🚨 OpenAI is reportedly building a phone designed to replace the iPhone.

And it’s further along than anyone realized.

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the same man who predicted every major Apple product cycle for 20 years, just dropped this.

Important details:

1: OpenAI is partnering with Qualcomm AND MediaTek to develop custom smartphone processors, not one chip partner, but two competing giants simultaneously

2: Luxshare has been named the exclusive system co-design and manufacturing partner, the same company that assembles Apple products

3: Mass production is targeted for 2028, the hardware roadmap is already in motion

4: The phone will run OpenAI’s own OS, replacing traditional apps entirely with AI agents that complete tasks autonomously, without you ever opening a single app

5: The processor is being designed around on-device AI performance, with complex tasks offloaded to OpenAI’s cloud infrastructure for seamless integration

6: OpenAI’s core thesis: users don’t want apps, they want results. The phone will continuously understand context, habits, and preferences in real time

This isn’t a gadget. It’s a direct attempt to replace the operating system layer that Apple and Google have owned for 20 years.

I’m doing more research, and what I’m about to post will blow your mind.

You’ll wish you followed me sooner, trust me.

@the_sambu Kenyans are used to politicians hyping them with lies. When someone tells them the truth it becomes boring.

[The Spectator Index @spectatorindex]

BREAKING: Microsoft says it has developed an AI system that creates a 'path to medical superintelligence' that can deal with 'diagnostically complex and intellectually demanding' cases and diagnose disease four times more accurately than a panel of human doctors

[Joseph Karani @JoseKarani]

@Dr_AustinOmondi This is fantastic!! Did you build your own imaging model and dataset for the app?

[Joseph Karani @JoseKarani]

@KaphKaph2000 There is need for private health facilities to adopt telehealth and AI through systems such us https://t.co/mDnlFWRJt1. That's where the future of healthcare access is heading to.

[Joseph Karani @JoseKarani]

@amenya_nelson You just shared my thoughts. That research paper in the name of AI strategy has no measurable outcomes.

[Joseph Karani @JoseKarani]

@christah_ellah No school will teach you this!

[Joseph Karani @JoseKarani]

@moneyacademyKE Other nations are launching LLMs to lead AI innovation but Kenya is launching a strategy with a budget. They probably want to regulate what other countries have innovated.

The “minimum” in MVP is the minimum it takes to get someone to open their wallet, not the minimum it takes for the product to work

[Nonini 🇰🇪🇺🇲 @Noninimgenge2ru]

Nobody is trying to fix the problems we have in 🇰🇪. Everyone is trying to make enough money so the problems don't apply to them. Once you understand that then you adjust sails accordingly 💯

Unpopular opinion: Marketing is more important than the product itself.

@DavidNdii Consider adopting this SaaS HMIS solution that is locally build. https://t.co/mDnlFWShiz.

@mbiti_mwondi Weka space. Let's also talk about locally available technology solutions that can facilitate implementation of SHA.

@Kalasinga_ When Kairo was here telling his side of the story, we didn't need the truth from the court but now that Clement has given his side of the story, we should wait for the truth from the courts. We wait for justice though!
