The Details
The article I’m about to summarize has the audacity to suggest that a “strange, romantic backlash to the tech era looms” in our oh-so-advanced society. Can you believe it? The author’s name is Ross Barkan, and it seems they’ve taken a dive into a pool of romanticism and emerged with a new ideology — because who needs technology when you can have flowers and poetry, right?
- Who needs tech innovation when we can just live in the 19th century again?
- Apparently, people are yearning for a time before smartphones ruined everything.
- Romance is making a comeback, so get rid of your devices and start writing love letters.
- The article hints at a revolt against the tech giants – who would have thought?
- Oh, the horror! People are actually seeking human connection over virtual ones. How preposterous!
