We are so brainwashed by the cloud-sync-everything mantra that we have lost our appreciation for ephemeral things and the ability to give them our full attention in the present moment. We have also lost the responsability to cherry pick and preserve what, and only what, really matters to us. And so we live surrounded by tons of digital junk around, that our mind is not structurally able to manage.
Some software is even trying to push, through horrible dark patterns, online-only saving; many people no longer understand the concept of having local storage, they don't really know where their data is saved. They just have blind faith in the big corporation of the moment.
Then, one day they will loose everything due to a tech glitch or a irrevocable termination of our account. From too much to the void.
So this kind of experiments is really refreshing, it's a wake up call.
