Principais Lições
We Are the Last to Remember Silence
What if the most precious thing we're losing isn't something we can hold, but rather its opposite-the spaces between? Right now, a generation walks the earth who remembers both worlds: rotary phones and smartphones, encyclopedias and Wikipedia, waiting and now. We're caught between Before and After, digital immigrants making a one-way journey into a landscape where silence, boredom, and solitude are becoming extinct. Unlike the slow centuries it took for Gutenberg's printing press to reshape civilization, our transformation happens at breakneck speed-a single human lifetime witnessing the complete rewiring of how we think, remember, and exist. The question isn't whether technology changes us. It's whether we'll notice what vanishes in the transition.
