About this listen

 What if we told you that the internet isn't just a tool but an unavoidable force that has reshaped our lives forever? Join us as we journey through the evolving dynamics of life, technology, and society, reflecting on the transformative power of the internet. From nostalgic musings about simpler times to the irreversible impacts of big corporations on small businesses, we dive into the philosophical reasons behind our persistent online presence and the erosion of public spaces, all with a touch of humor and poignant insights.

Remember the days of early internet exploration and the thrill of becoming tech-savvy through sheer curiosity? We share personal stories of navigating the complex landscape of internet usage and computer literacy, from the dopamine highs of addictive apps to the darker corners of online culture. Recounting our attempts to disconnect by adopting minimalistic tech solutions, we highlight the inherent challenges and ultimate realization of our deep entanglement with the digital world. You'll hear about our unique adventures and the willingness to take on unconventional tasks, underscoring the journey from novice to tech-savvy enthusiast.

As the conversation shifts to cultural critique, we reflect on the symbolic death of Morgan Spurlock and the impact of his documentaries, contrasting it with today's meme culture. We celebrate the joy and spontaneity that Fridays bring, capturing the magic of that beloved end-of-week feeling. From DIY lamp rewiring projects to humorous tales of unexpected encounters at hardware stores, this episode is a rollercoaster of reflective nostalgia, cultural shifts, and the small yet significant moments that define our tech-driven lives.
