Everyone I know in the neighbourhood is reading or read the "The Anxious Generation". It looks like the tide is turning and there is very strong anti-tech sentiment everywhere.
And now that we have smartwatches with GPS/LTE connectivity, kids don't need cellphones to be in touch with their parents.
- onemoresoop 2y agoYes, I can see some signs of that as well. Lots of street library bookcases with free books and 2 new actual bookstores popped up in my neighborhood. Yesterday I went to one and it was a great experience and couldn't resist buying an absolutely beautiful book on lichens [1] and a book for my kid. Reading this book feels different than reading an efemeral digital copy. I think we were to quick to dismiss paper books. [1] Lichenpedia: A Brief Compendium
