Question of the day! Obviously there are no definitive answers. So I've only got more questions... sorry.

I wonder if our tech choices project our thoughts / feelings / worries...

Hardware... Do we buy a certain brand as a talisman to tell the world we belong to a particular club? And do we put stickers on our laptops to emphasise that? Do we get the latest bit of kit to say "I've made it"? Does staring at a screen isolate us from engaging with those around us? And do we actually want that? A nicer world inside the device than outside? Do we prefer the voices in our tech to those in real life?

Software... Do we play multi-player games just for interaction with others? Are we using social media to 'piss into the wind'? Or do we want / need to engage with others? Is Lemmy a club of like-minded individuals, where we feel safe and secure in the knowledge that - mostly - people here think / feel the same way as I do? Are we addicted to up-ticks to confirm our views? Or to massage our ego that we've got a certain level of popularity?
