What do you care about?

posted by Patrick Tanguay   Jul 31, 2019

Somewhat as a continuation to the previous post on journalism, which included a call to "look at people and how they use the technology, not just the tech itself." I'd like to draw your attention to this post by Doug Belshaw which can be summarized as saying that the solution to the problem we have with FOMO, notifications, and busyness might simply be to think of the human (you) first. To be purposeful in your choices, to determine what you need, to focus on how best to answer those choices and needs.

Know who you are, what you care about, and the difference you're trying to make in the world.

You should read the whole thing, but I'm including it here in part for this great list Belshaw extracted from a Kathy Sierra post from bak in "2006, in the mists of internet time," The myth of keeping up.
