I teared up at the PSP talk. I feel terrible that life requires a level of technology that not everyone is capable of affording and it doesn’t seem right.

I had a PSP long before a cell phone, and the built-in browser was like a peek into the future. It really was janky, and could only scroll a page at a time, like an e-reader, but back then web pages didn't need a top-of-the-line computer with gigabytes of ram, to display text and the occasional image, so it was extremely useful when a laptop wasn't available. The button mapping was pretty good, and navigated similar text-based browsers like Lynx, but with the benefit of seeing images.
It doesn’t seem right because it isn’t .
