When I was a teenager I was very outdoorsy. I briefly considered running away and squatting in a National Park indefinitely. I often would dream of living totally off the grid. Back when a cell phone was something your rich friend's parents had.

Now I have a phone, computer and smartwatch with me at all times. Two more computers and countless outdated tech at home. My SO works for a major tech company. We discuss and consume as much tech news as possible.

I guess, for me, I just find it all so fascinating and entertaining. Each new piece of hardware and every new social media craze comes with fun ideas and predictions about how different and interesting the future is going to be.
