Pillar 04
Digital Life

Most people's digital lives were never designed — they accumulated. Apps arrived, notifications stayed on, habits formed around whatever was easiest. Intentionality is mostly a matter of deciding things on purpose that were previously decided for you.
Are you using technology — or simply reacting to it?
