We have been so desensitized… that we think nothing less complex and showy than a computer or a jet bomber deserves to be called "technology " at all. As if linen were the same thing as flax — as if paper, ink, wheels, knives, clocks, chairs, aspirin pills, were natural objects, born with us like our teeth and fingers -- as if steel saucepans with copper bottoms and fleece vests spun from recycled glass grew on trees, and we just picked them when they were ripe...

> So if I take a plastic bag, put an iPhone in it, and fill that bag with helium from a $1 balloon I bought at a dollar tree store, it will break the phone for a week, until the helium "airs out"?…

We found that, in 100% He, iPhones would die in about 90 minutes (and eventually would recover). also looking at MEMS oscillators in helium directly… 1) an hour in 100% He would be sufficient to get the oscillation to drift out of spec 2) the oscillators would return to normal after about 16 hours…

i think some programming styles are more photogenic than others
