I'll start by saying I had to look up Apple Vision Pro and wow...it looks slightly cool, but also weirdly terrifying. I am a person who enjoys technology, but not all new tech seems appealing to me.

I'll start by saying I had to look up Apple Vision Pro and wow...it looks slightly cool, but also weirdly terrifying. I am a person who enjoys technology, but not all new tech seems appealing to me. There are certain advances that seem important for us or better for the planet, and then there are those that seem like they are turning us into disconnected robots. I am currently not thrilled about the idea of "virtual reality" or anything that takes us out of the world we live in. I am still so fascinated by the simple magic of nature, of being grounded in my physical surroundings. I do spend time on my technology like anyone else, but it also bothers me if I spend too much time on it or do so without intention. Like you, I miss the days of "less connection" because you had to go out into the world and do things and find things and seek out people and places. Which actually allowed us to find MORE connection. And sometimes you didn't know where you'd end up. And that was the whole freaking beauty of it all. I think boredom is a gift. It's like light and dark - boredom must be equally balanced with creativity and action. Neither can exist without the other.

I weirdly LOVE that you had to google the Apple Vision Pro. That means you're far enough removed and I'm so happy for that!
