 So there is something that I noticed just randomly over the last half year or something like that It's just something that I've been thinking about and that is that sounds from your computer are no longer interesting now This sounds Really really weird. I understand that but the idea is that in the past When your computer started up you'd hear a sound when you did something wrong on your computer It'd make a sound at you when you shut down. It would make a sound you get the idea There were actual computer sounds that happened when you did stuff on your operating system now Maybe this is just me being an old guy, which is you know true But in the past you'd hear all these sounds and added character to your user experience I know everybody's thinking Matt. This is not an important topic and it's not you're right This is just something that I've been thinking about so it's not I'm like the end of the world my our computer no longer make sound But it's just again something that I've been thinking about our computers no longer make interesting sounds none of this is not universal Ubuntu still has a startup chime when you boot into a live environment and Linux Mint has a ton of different sounds Linux Mint does the best job out of all the distros that I've tried with sounds it has they've actually Created a whole bunch of new sounds over the course of the last couple of releases And it's actually kind of what kind of got me thinking about this when I was using mint You know a couple months ago or whatever so your sounds on your computer used to be really cool so when you're when you booted into Windows you'd hear something like this or When you made an error you'd hear something like this Or when you got a mail you'd hear something like this You've got mail and then of course there are the sounds that weren't really your computer making them But maybe your modem so you'd hear something like this We just don't have those sounds anymore. It's a shame and Like I understand why of course because you know we've moved on and maybe Sounds aren't as important or you don't want your sounds interrupting I mean our computers have become much more media centric over the course of the last 15 or 20 years So having random computer sounds in the background interrupting our YouTube videos not a great idea, maybe but the loss of Common sounds on our desktop environments are distros or whatever It feels like something that has lost a little bit of character when it comes to using our computer. It's no longer as Fun simply because the sounds aren't there anymore now like I said, it's not universal There are still distros and desktop environments and operating systems out there that do sounds. I think max still has a sound I think it sounds something like this so there are still some sounds to happen, but It's not as common as it once was and that makes me a little bit sad So it's not a very long video. It's just me kind of reminiscing and being nostalgic and stuff over sounds of computing past honestly the one that I miss most is the Handshake sound that I know it sounds for you kids out there. This sounds absolutely crazy You probably have no clue what this is even about but when a modem was connecting to the internet in the past it would make that sound and You know at the time probably most people actually hated that song because it's really annoying It's kind of screechy and it's not great, but As an old guy I remember that sound very fondly because it was the first time connecting to the internet for a lot of us, you know For those of us who grew up in though You know the late 90s going into going to school The only time you got to actually use the internet was probably at school and then you transitioned into the early 2000 or something like that and you started getting more internet at your house You know at your home and you would connect to it via dial up and your modem would make that sound and Looking back on that time just makes me feel you know Nostalgic about those times now Obviously, I don't want to go back to having to hear that sound all the time That'd be horrible because the speeds that came along with that or just not anything good But it's still something that I think about and kind of miss these days because the sounds of that era of computing They're no longer here.
