It’s almost March, but these ideas have been living rent-free in my notes since January...and they’re too important to delete. In this episode, I’m clearing out my "Podcast Ideas" list by giving myself a 5-minute limit to expound on nine distinct topics sitting at the intersection of culture, design, and technology

Topics:

1. Smartphone Cameras Negatively Effect Memory

2. Art for Art's Sake vs Practical Art

3. Why Do I Continue to Use Tidal?

4. How the Original Facebook and TikTok are Related

5. Screens Have Accelerated Copy Culture

6. Pulling From Students vs Pushing Them

7. Music Used to Feel Like Treasure, Now It Feels Like a Commodity

8. Code Switching

9. Folks Looking Back in Order to Cope w/ an Uncertain Future
