The Art of Being Me's avatar

I have been thinking about the very same topic especially after seeing the movie A Complete Unknown a few weeks back. I loved the movie but what really stayed with me was a scene where it showed the table top where Bob Dylan created and wrote music. No smart phone or fancy tech gadget in site. Just a pad of paper and a pen. I was envious and nostalgic for the time period because he seemed to have the freedom to create. No technology distractions and I thought this isn't a man checking his emails or his social media. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for reading! I saw that film too, I loved it. As you describe, the seeds of creativity, choices made, reacting to inspiration and to events is all the human element. No technology necessary.

Love this! I am so entrenched in technology I feel like I don't know what I'd do without it. And yet it sounds so dang refreshing to just drop it all.

When I read how completely unwired he is, I was envious. Maybe I just need to take an “unplugged” day once a week to reset my battery.

Yes. I think I should do the same. We all should probably.
