Our day-to-day is filled with the types of conveniences that are supposed to make life easier, more time efficient. We have delivery services and on-demand for absolutely everything: lunch, alcohol, toilet paper, entertainment, the list goes on. Even romance is available at the click of a button. We date at the swipe of a button, we order our groceries and meals via apps with faceless drivers, and watch our movies at home instead of in theatres with other people. Our convenience culture has stripped us of the parts of life that help us to flourish as human beings: living our lives outside, face to face in communities, providing one another with goods and services that are locally sourced and made.
