Amazing read.. What a nostalgia. Perhaps the millenials will have a different view point and Gen Alpha might look at the whole scenario differently if at all they have the patience to put up their thoughts in B and W as you have.. Techhaustion, techjuvenation are the new terms to us and the Times Square analogy is so perfect 😍.. Glad to hear you value the green grass and the cabin life.. Keep writing.. Always looking forward to read more from you
Sidhdhesh , what a fabulous writeup! and though we are decades apart , it felt biographical -perhaps a function of tech being the great equaliser and , at times, the Greater Inverter ( with youngsters knowing far more than the wrinkelies !)
I still fondly think of the modem dial up tone with the claxon indicating the connection being made to the internet -the moment I stepped though the looking glass!
Keep writing -I value it !
One day you might even invest in an ancient instrument called a fountain pen which will be the magic wand that helps you escape the digital world 🙂
Great writeup! I never tried to put these feelings into words but I do believe we all yearn for that renewal, whether it be through escape or novelty. It does all feel a bit empty these days doesn't it?
this is what I like to call the technology induced brain rot. there's nothing else to do with "both your hands" apart from using these devices in this century. life is on easy mode.

Thanks Drona. Physical pen-paper writing is underrated I agree
“Techaustion” is the most relatable word I’ve come across in a while, amazing blog as always!

Thanks Nigel, yeah I don't even think it's nostalgia at this point, the internet experience has just gotten worse the older I've gotten
Wonderful.

Wow, everything's computer
He said it better than I ever could
Nicely penned,Sid. Remembered my days of Cyber cafe from Nagpur.
Great Siddhesh. Loved it. Even I can associate so much with the computer from a cyber cafe to the comfort of my sofa.
