Douglas AdamsAnything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
Anything that’s invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can
probably get a career in it. Anything invented after you’re thirty-five
is against the natural order of things.
Plato – The Phaedrus (ca 370 bc)
…you give your disciples not truth, but only the semblance of truth; they will be hearers of many things and will have learned nothing; they will appear to be omniscient and will generally know nothing; they will be tiresome company, having the show of wisdom without the reality.
How did we end up here?

Normalizing the abnormal
What, who, how much? Why?
This is not a phone
Always online
“My fear is that these technologies are infantilising the brain into the state of small children who are attracted by buzzing noises and bright lights, who have a small attention span and who live for the moment.”
Prof. Susan Greenfield
Performance lifestyle

The end of boredom
Waiting by THE phone

Social responsibility
digital liberates us, habits lock us in.
The state
Only technology(spot the ethical dilemma?)
The corporation
if you're not paying for
something, you're not the
customer; you're the
product being sold
The individual
Controlled by convenience
Are those of us who
remember the analogue
age fortunate or
unfortunate?
