Breaking the Silence
Today we’re celebrating 3 years since the launch of DigitalDeliria.com! Granted, we are on a bit of a hiatus… though I still want to thank those who have followed. For now, I’ve returned focus to a new (actually, quite old) project… ranging back to 2012 when I first documented the concept, and 2016 when I first started writing it in fully shaped form. Who knew that I would come up with this particular concept before Google started to actually build it (before anyone, for that matter). But via my telling, it will come to a full fruition that no one else has yet imagined.
As an update in the vein of Digital Deliria, I will share an anecdote from today. I witnessed a person spend 10 times as long pumping and paying for their gas. Normally, it’s a quick swipe of a credit card and then “pump away”. But today, they actually chose to stand by their car, fiddling with their phone, attempting to scan QR codes on the pump again and again, and then fiddled on their phone some more. Meanwhile, 3 cars waited in line behind them in 100+ degree heat, burning more gas.
This is the Digital Deliria my friend. The madness that ciphens our time and gives it away to powerful corporate entities… to their benefit and not ours… without us even knowing.
That is what we exposed with this website, DigitalDeliria.com. In ways both as small as this, or as large as behaviors like looking at our phones 96 times a day on average. It’s all about the evolving human-technology condition.
Blessings and peace be with you till next time. Bye for now.
