I think the article is true in so many depressing ways. But perhaps at least a partial antidote is included in the quote of William Morris. I think people are realizing more and more that living a digital life is not living at all. We need to get back to things that are tangible. To surround ourselves with things of quality and beauty and to have real actual human interactions. If you have a craft, make something with your hands and then put it in your house. If you’re all thumbs, find someone who has a craft, be it woodworking or pottery or basketweaving and buy something that appeals to you. In the process you’ll not only be supporting a creative person, but interacting with someone who can add dimension to your life. Last summer I made a point of shopping at a local farmers market. Buying produce from the woman who picked it that morning is just different, and better. After a few visits, she asked me what I was doing with all those tomatoes and she shared what she does with the bruised ones she can’t sell. Just human interaction. Wow. Try getting that experience in the self checkout line at Walmart.
