Longing what I call "intentional friction"

As technology increasingly optimizes for convenience... i almost find myself resenting instant gratification. The more my life becomes frictionless and algo-driven, the more I actually crave purposeful effort. 

Feels as tho I'm not alone and there's a countertrend forming - the deliberate embrace of "intentional friction"...this rejection of algorithmic efficiency in favor of experiences and recommendations that require effort, patience and human-to-human coordination.

+ dumb phones > smart phones
+ curated recs (letterboxd, goodreads, etc.) > AI suggestions
+ vinyl > streaming 
+ "slow living" philosophies and digital detoxes
