…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.

What makes a teacher great?
Teaching is like stand-up, except the audience can’t leave.
A good teacher listens to what is not being said.
A good teacher is a tour guide to the world, with niche interests.
A good teacher knows their subject so well, they can admit to their own ignorance.
A good teacher remembers their students are young humans growing, learning, developing.
A good teacher understands that being liked and being respected are two different things. And that liked and respected often overlap in the best of them.
