This first episode looks at a theme that will certainly come up a lot: real things disappearing from our world, virtual things taking their place.
I think it’s important to notice when we’ve attached to objects simply because they are important to us, our own biographical timeframe. A nostalgia that is sweet but narcissistic too, a longing for objects that were symbols in one’s own life to matter more than they seem to. A stab at continued relevance. ‘Back in my day’ insistence. For me, the distinction comes with objects that are linked to pro-sociality. It is the disappearance of these objects, that I feel should give us pause.
