Just an update...

Tonight I spent the evening working on the blog's design and getting my social media set up. It's a little strange to find myself stepping into this world in order to defend the idea that we should step back from it a little if we want to be happier.

The truth is, I love technology, and I have nothing against living part of our lives online. What bothers me isn't technology itself, but the way it's often misused. There's no reason we shouldn't connect with people through digital means. The problem is how the excess of digitalization in our liquid modern world has led us further away from the real one.

I can talk to my friends online, but why not prefer face-to-face contact whenever possible? I don't know if you remember when sending someone a message wasn't an excuse for distance. On the contrary, it was simply a way to invite the other person's presence.

This post was only meant to note that I'm working on the blog, and somehow I ended up rambling. I don't really mind, because that's just how spontaneous conversations go.
