Your life without a computer: what does it look like?
People often ask themselves and others, what would life be like without a computer. But honestly, that’s not the scenario that matters. What I keep imagining is life without mobile devices. Because that’s the real key to freedom.
The computer is a tool. It sits in one place. You go to it when you need it, and you walk away when you’re done. But mobile devices follow us everywhere. They tug at us with every notification, every vibration, every glow. They’ve become the altar we bow to in stolen moments, the pocket-sized portals where we place our longing, our hunger, our search for connection.
Without them, maybe we’d still look up. Perhaps we’d still find what we need in the smell of rain, the sound of music that shakes your bones, the warmth of someone’s hand. Maybe we’d remember that connection doesn’t have to come through pixels or push notifications.
Life without mobile devices wouldn’t mean disconnection — it would mean reconnection. To art, to nature, to love, to silence. To everything that actually feeds us.
That, to me, is freedom.
