As a reminder, here is what he wrote about being online: > The world has gone digital to the point where everything happens online. That brought plenty of good things, but it stripped away something simple: the right to disconnect. > Half the time you can’t leave the house without your phone, because certain places need you to carry a small computer in your pocket to do anything at all. My least favorite: reading a restaurant menu off a screen. and here is what you wrote: > There exists an expectation of infrastructure and acceptance of a way of living that is more evident, totally tragically, in administrations Note Alberto had zero mentions of administration and infrastructure in this case (unless you consider menus to be such, but that's a stretch).
