220 | Are We Overdependent on Tech? (AWS Outage) & Reflection App

What happens when the backbone of the internet fails? Josh and Will dive into the recent AWS outage that reminded us all just how dependent we've become on cloud infrastructure. From smart home devices going offline to entire business operations grinding to a halt, this episode explores our complicated relationship with internet connectivity. But first - Josh finally notices a painting that's been in Will's background for months (since episode 199, to be exact!), leading to a hilarious deep-dive through previous episodes and a story about childhood art purchases.The conversation then shifts to something we can control: our personal reflection practices. Will shares his 3+ year journey with Reflection App, demonstrating how intentional journaling can help us process everything from tech disruptions to personal growth - especially when the digital world feels unreliable.➡️ 40% OFF Reflection App: http://reflection.app/hitechHead over to our website at ⁠⁠⁠hitechpod.us⁠⁠⁠ for all of our episode pages, send some support at ⁠⁠Buy Me a Coffee⁠⁠, our ⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠, our ⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠, and to see our faces (maybe skip the last one).Need a journal that's secure and reflective?
