# The Anti-Digital Revolution

getting real tired of 
screens
everywhere
always in my face

i can feel the gulf between me and digital content

it's ephemeral nature
nothing i can touch, hold
or feel

a negation of material reality
products and services that are licensed
never owned

i'm a minimalist
so naturally i gravitates towards the idea of
digital everything
store it all in a device the size of the palm of your hand!

but

i found out over time that i missed the tactile feel of a book, the smell
the ritual of putting on a record, the little
soft pops as the needle skates accross the vinyl

so 
i revolted
left the digital space largely behind
and it feels good
as humans we're meant to interact with thw world directly
get our hands dirty
interface with these objects in space/time

the digital space has it's place
but it can only be an intermediary of sorts
it can never replace our intimate relationship
with the real, material world
