David Sax - The Sublime Virtues of an Analog Life

When I get called a boomer, it’s usually because I’m trying to explain to someone much younger why collecting vinyl records and making mixtapes is so satisfying. A Spotify playlist may be more efficient and time-saving, but what do you lose in the digital process? Organic discovery that’s not based on an algorithm. Record store curation (High Fidelity, anyone?). Listening to a whole album while reading the liner notes, etc. According to today’s guest, author David Sax, it turns out these younger generations are starting to discover the joys of an analog experience on their own. Now, five years out from the start of the pandemic, we’re seeing signs of digital exhaustion and a craving for something more tactile. It’s an encouraging conversation for this Gen Xer. Check out David Sax's book, "The Future is Analog", and please, read it on paper.The Future is Analoghttps://www.elliottbaybook.com/item/FUkcZsH8Mlh_1LNJ2Ucg9Alinktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/freshfacepods.evison
