Notepads Surprising Evolution

Read Time: 2 min.

Ah, Notepad. It’s like that trusty old notebook we’ve all kept for ages. I remember when I first stumbled onto it back the day, trying code a little HTML for my personal blog. Those lines of code were more trial and error than actual skill, but Notepad was my go-to – just a blank canvas waiting for my chaotic genius.

Anyway, fast forward to now, and Notepad’s still hanging in there, except now it’s got a few more tricks up its sleeves. Remember when tabs became a thing in Notepad? Blew my mind! It was like discovering that your childhood teddy could suddenly talk.

Poor WordPad, on the other hand, always the middle child. Did anyone else use it for drafting quick letters for Grandma? You know, just enough fancy fonts to impress, but not so much that she got suspicious I was slacking off schoolwork. And then poof, Microsoft took it away, like when your favorite TV show gets canceled just as the plot thickens. What’s next, Microsoft? Charging us for oxygen? Seems a little greedy if you ask me.

And if you thought AI was just for sci-fi flicks, think again! AI’s basically crashing the tech party and refusing to leave. Microsoft is all about slipping AI into its office tools, while Apple’s over there, making sure Siri knows everything about everyone – but politely, of course. It’s like a tech arms race over who can predict our coffee orders first.

So, what’s your take? Ever find yourself chatting up Notepad or cursing the sky over WordPad’s disappearance? Drop a line below! Let’s swap stories – I know you’ve got some tech tales in you.
