Guilty of Digital Consumerism (#apps #services #workflow)
Greg Morris on digital consumerism:
The level of consumerism and marketing tricks being used to sell apps and services is growing over time. They all promise to fix that gap in your work life, just like adverts promise to fix the one in your love life, or improve your happiness, or whatever it is. Itβs all lies.
I cannot talk for others, but for me, when Iβm jumping on another service or a new app, itβs because it offers a seizable improvement. Going from Notion to Craft is my latest example of such move. Iβll elaborate on this at length in a feature post in the very near future.
I recently wrote βAre we digital nomads?β My answer is yes. It seems we cannot stay in one place for a very long time, looking for the new, the latest and greatest, all the time. Weβre bored. This is what it is. Form takes over function. Or is it? Again, my blogger workflow is full of moving parts and I consider it is an ongoing experiment.
