phone smart original drawing by Artist Chris Shopland pencil on A3 paper
It’s not hard to imagine a zombie movie where the undead, or very much alive are glued to their phones—and sometimes, we’re not far off. These devices give us constant access to information, acting like personal assistants in our pockets. It’s both a blessing and a curse.
I often think about the contrast between this hyper-connected world and those in parts of the world where technology isn’t as accessible, where food and shelter is much more of a priority than apps. It’s strange how much of our lives we pour into a single device that is always with us. I remember saving in vain for my first iPhone—now, I’d be lost without a smartphone.
Thankfully, I’m typing this on a computer. The keyboard still feels essential, and the typewriter remains a symbol of a romantic, analog past. Technology keeps evolving, and so do we as learners, creators, and people trying to make sense of it all.
