Ask HN: Have you ever gone without a computer or phone for an extended period?
It might be a bit unorthodox and I would possibly get flagged for writing this but I found the ideas of Kaczynski on impact of technology on us very profound and thought-provoking[0]. I try to separate the "art" from the "artist" and do not condone his violent actions thereafter. But this idea has been around in various shapes where people debate if its true that techonology is evolving at a much faster rate than our minds can evolve to cope with its impacts.<p>It was very insightful for me to do an introspection of how I interact with techonology and broadly with consumerism and change some aspects of it to focus on what is really meaningful to me.<p>[0] <a href="http://editions-hache.com/essais/pdf/kaczynski2.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://editions-hache.com/essais/pdf/kaczynski2.pdf</a>
