“I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by brevity, over-connectedness, emotionally starving for attention, dragging themselves through virtual communities at 3 am, surrounded by stale pizza and neglected dreams, looking for angry meaning, any meaning, same hat wearing hipsters burning for shared and skeptical approval from the holographic projected dynamo in the technology of the era, who weak connections and recession wounded and directionless, sat up, micro-conversing in the supernatural darkness of Wi-Fi-enabled cafes….”
- McSweeney’s Internet Tendency: Tweet. (via lapuravidagallery) (via cmonstah) (via newsweek) (via wearethedigitalkids) (via jratlee) There are times like today where i easily spend hours on the computer doing nothing. last week i was up in vermont doing some sort of actiivity outside all day, then hanging out or dancing at night. I’m not saying one lifestyle is better than the other, but one is definitely more conducive to finding momentum in life. That is to say, you can still get where you wanna go perhaps, if your groove requires ample computer time but then that’s where you would want to be ever so cautious. I’ll look at my tumblr roll where i’m following 34 people, 20 of which have given me no insight at all. Once you throw away as much useless stuff as you can there’s still the issue of confronting the fact that you’ve been hiding for a very long time, numb from all this desensitizing shit. I wonder, “is that my dream?” what was it again? With all these tools at the tip of my fingers it’s important that I make sure to use a hammer for the nail, not a screwdriver.
