3/ Lo-Fi Living in a Hi-Fi World: Emerging consumer trend of simplified tech experiences, reducing distractions & focusing on core functions. A response to high-tech over-saturation.

I’m continually struck by how my 15 yo son is tuned off by ubiquitous computing and the attention it requires 

I’m intrigued by lo-fi computing products like Daylight and techless / wisephone. But I’m somewhat skeptical that it can go mainstream 

I’m intrigued by products like the meta glasses which somewhat hide the digital interface and don’t require primary attention

honestly, it's kind of refreshing to see kids pushing back against constant screen time. maybe lo-fi tech is the future we didn’t know we needed? 🤔
