I dunno.... as I get older, this sounds more and more idyllic

When Whatsapp and a bunch of social media went down a few years back I took a stroll outside that evening here in Berlin and the streets were weirdly buzzing. It was a bit surreal.

Maybe some sort of bias but I also view things this way.

I can remember I was at a birthday party and the entire topic of the f*cking evening was when it will be online again. With everybody checking every 23 seconds.

I left that 'party' quite early.
