Old is New

I am a late adopter.  I usually jump on the band wagon once everyone else has moved ahead in the parade.  I am particularly reticent when it comes to consumer technologies.  

To this date, I would be much happier, if the internet hadn’t conquered our lives, if phones remained a thing stuck to a wall, and if my personal information was exactly that: personal information.  

Maybe I am slow to see the benefit of a new trend, or maybe I am worried about its potential downside, or maybe it´s that I believe that we have rounded a corner where so-called progress is really just that: marketing. 

But here is a trend, I wouldn’t mind suggesting:  Let’s get rid of all that junk!  But then, we are curious monkeys no more, no less.
