The pandemic has changed how I perceive time. I feel like there is less in a day. Time has been stretched yet compacted at the same time.
How has your outlook on time changed?

While I can't say much about the devices, I do appreciate the launch-event branding for these Samsung foldable phones.

If the deaf and hard of hearing populated a nation, they'd be the world's third-biggest country, and their population would double by 2055. One of several great bits of data in the Android Accessibility update #googleio #a11y events.google.com/io/session…
Solid #GoogleIO2021 presentation today on #a11y with some great new platform capabilities – but @Apple's PR on accessibility today (coincidence? I think not) has some real sci-fi wow. apple.com/newsroom/2021/05/a…
iOS has always been favored by wealthier users, but the the tight correlation of per-capita GDP to iOS market share is still amazing - especially at the poorer/Android end. @qz breaks down the privacy implications for individuals and societies qz.com/2008372/recent-online…
