Remember when driving a car meant really driving it, shifting gears, feeling the road? Or the simple joy of sending and receiving a handwritten postcard? It feels like we're increasingly letting our devices do the 'living' for us, pushing us further away from tactile experiences and genuine, physical interaction. We're trading hands-on engagement for automated convenience, and I can't help but wonder if we're losing something vital in the process. Are we becoming mere observers in our own lives, with machines calling the shots? There's a certain satisfaction that comes from direct control, from mastering a physical skill, that digital interfaces just can't replicate. It's about being present. #culture #technology #philosophy https://www.wired.com/story/loss-of-phy… 🔗
