And a clock, and a weather forecast, and a picture frame...

A screen has a lot of potential. But not if it works against your interests

    So for a clock and picture frame you’re not gunna believe this but…

    And for a weather forecast I mean just make a widget on your phone’s home screen, it’ll be fine. The techification of every damn fucking thing we have is ridiculous and we so happily dive into filling our lives with nonsense just to have a theoretical 1% improvement in efficiency that we don’t even need.

    I’m not saying we need to throw out all technology but we also don’t need to jam modern tech into every single aspect of our lives.
