Notes from my Notebook, nearly unedited
Key words of the week Severance, Gained weight, analog…
When I go back to my parents’ home, I feel relaxed. That state of mind is far from the compulsive mode of mind. As a programmer whose existence is threatened by AI. I’m almost always driven by a sense of urgency. My thoughts are constantly occupied by things like chasing tech news and listening to “educational” podcasts. It feels like being a busy mother pushing her kid hard to make it to a nursery school, 24 hours.
Now, I’m writing this page in my bathroom after washing the bath. Pressing the notebook against the wall of the bathroom, I’m thinking, “This is a new experience. Phones don’t get scratched. This notebook, on the other hand, gets worn out, and that’s what gives it character and makes it lovable. Phones are boring. They all have the latest OS. They are the least necessary tool for adventure.
Looking at this black, rectangular phone, I wonder, “What is this thing?”
That all you need is your phone means that you don’t make connections with other things, moreover, you’ll never feel attachment to your phone. Our society is abundant in materials, however, our perceptions tell the opposite. We lack the connections and attachments to the things around us. Recall the feeling of using up the ink of your favorite pen, it gives you a satisfactory memory and a chance to explore the world, I mean, shops. These days I think it’s best to just treat smartphones as “convenient tools” and refrain from using it for addictive, entertainment purposes.
