Too many screens
minimalism.com
“Taste is not purely subjective. Taste is the ability to identify quality. Taste is also curation. Taste can be developed. Taste is not a matter of personal preference. Taste separates humans from machines. Taste should not be used as gatekeeping. Taste has to be demystified.” – DOC
Too many screens
How many screens do we really need?
You may have looked perplexed if, 20 years ago, someone would have told you that we’d spend most of our days glued to glowing screens, that we’d blur the lines between work and home, that our connectedness would disconnect us from what matters.
It would have sounded dystopian. Yet we agreed to it. Not all at once, but gradually. One supposed improvement at a time.
A screen on your wall.
A screen at your desk.
A screen in your pocket.
A screen on your lap.
A screen in your hand.
A screen on your wrist.

Hello minimalists! Thanks for this insights. There’s also another screen... the one in the car... I wrote about it recently (in Spanish but I guess you can translate it) here in my Substack : https://open.substack.com/pub/hcoss/p/el-coche-electrico-no-digital?r=fdizk&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post
