Pardon my “get off my lawn” vibe here, but back in my day, a proper paper airplane was a work of craftsmanship. It took skill and patience to craft the perfect paper airplane, and even then, you’d be lucky if the thing flew more than five feet before plunging to the ground.
But alas, times have changed and the art of paper airplane making is officially lost. In it’s place, we have the PowerUp 3.0 Smartphone Controlled Paper Airplane.
Now don’t get me wrong, this thing does look pretty sweet. And things change, you know? If the world always stayed the same, we’d still be making fire with sticks and using horses as a primary means for transportation. So in the end, I guess it’s a welcomed advancement on old paper airplane technology. I guess.
