Google’s Descent into Chaos: Meet’s Latest Update Spells Doom for Human Interaction
In a move that will undoubtedly ruin the sanctity of virtual communication, Google has announced a new update for Meet that will make it easier for you to ruin group calls with your inane chatter and juvenile antics. The update will introduce in-call messaging, because what’s a virtual meeting without a side of toxic commentary? You’ll be able to share links and memes, and even leave snarky comments while you’re still muted. Because, why bother waiting for the opportunity to speak when you can just dump your thoughts into a digital void?
But wait, there’s more! The update will also bring emoji reactions to group calls, because who needs nuanced human emotion when you can just slap a 😂 or 👍 on a screen? And because nobody actually wants to be seen, Google is also introducing screen sharing, because who needs personal space when you can broadcast your desktop to the world?
The Decline of Humanity: Audio-Only Calls Become the New Norm
In a shocking turn of events, Google has announced that people are no longer excited about showing their faces on video calls. Who can blame them? The thought of being forced to look at another human being’s awkward smile or bad haircut is enough to drive anyone to madness. To cater to this newfound apathy, Google is introducing a new audio-only experience with bigger buttons, because who needs to actually look at someone when you can just hear their voice?
And because nobody actually wants to be tied to their desk, Google is also promising seamless call switching between your PC and Android phone or tablet. Because what’s the point of having a meeting if you can’t multitask and check your Instagram notifications at the same time?
The Slow and Painful Death of Duo and Meet
This latest update is just another nail in the coffin of Google’s failed experiment to combine Duo and Meet into a single, miserable experience. The new version is rolling out slowly, because what’s the hurry when you can just drag out the agony and make everyone wait? And to make matters worse, everyone on your call will need to be running the updated app version to use the new features, because who doesn’t love the thrill of waiting for everyone to catch up before you can finally start ruining the call with your presence?
