…actually, why not?
Your life without a computer: what does it look like?
More postcards and personal letters. More in-person visits. More long conversations. More hours where “unreachable” is real.
More typewriters, Xerox, fax machines. More quiet evenings and comfortable silences, more of the Old World that disappeared.
No more computers? Time would slow down immediately.

How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen?
Weekdays
The Daily Unplug
e.g. No social media between 10:30 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. Put in a time-lock for the apps to help you stick to your schedule.
Weekends
Designated Analog Time
At least 6 hours without gadgets or the Internet. Ideally, 1 whole day a week without going online once.

How has technology changed your job?
If you ever yelled at a radio dj because they started talking exactly when they shouldn’t, and so ruined a perfect recording of your favourite new song, then this question is probably a bit tricky because where to even begin…
#oldschool
a heartbeat
where i wish i could be
several me’s all at once
not split up, not even clones
just me several times over
so i can:
read this
write that
tell that story
watch that movie
hear that interview, podcast, song
read that blog
and have enough time for
mindfulness, peace
but also
write that proposal
answer those emails
make that call
read that article
share that thought-piece
refresh that page
upload that pic
like that comment
double-check that tweet
without forgetting to
drink enough water
take time to cook
eat right
be right
have a slice of great pie
go jogging
stretch right
maybe yoga
maybe swim
go out with people
dance a bit
socialise
and know just enough
about fashion, movies
books, trends, scandals
cocktails and wine
to be in the know
fit in
stay in the flow
of what’s cool
(nobody says ‘vogue’ anymore)
but also have the time to
potato on the couch
netflix, pinterest, spotify
without forgetting to
make things
create things
grow things
be things
so many more things
that are mine and not mine
all at once
all the time
all the time
all the time
