I'm reminded of Kurt Vonnegut's famous story about buying postage stamps: https://www.insidehook.com/wellness/kurt-vonnegut-advice

"I stamp the envelope and mail it in a mailbox in front of the post office, and I go home. And I’ve had a hell of a good time. And I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don’t let anybody tell you any different...How beautiful it is to get up and go do something."



I love so much. It really encapsulates what I've been feeling about tech and life generally. Society and especially tech seems so efficiency minded that I feel like a crazy person for going to do my groceries at the store sometimes.
