A book the explores what technology changes in our lives. I disagreed with some of the takes on in-person office work, while some of the arguments hold water others don't. Nevertheless, the book had some decent points about handwriting photos, and connection in the digital age. I also enjoyed points about how people can be armchair travelers and people take photos to document online, all things that people do far too often. I'm not sure that the book was overall worth the time though with many observations so superficial and obvious that while stating them is fine, I'm not sure what purpose such a book serves to the reader.
