SPOS #867 – David Sax On The Power Of Human Connection In A Screen Crazy World

Welcome to episode #867 of Six Pixels of Separation – The ThinkersOne Podcast.

Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation – The ThinkersOne Podcast – Episode #867. If you are looking for an insightful and thought-provoking book that challenges the idea of a digital future, then you need check out, The Future Is Analog, by David Sax. David is a freelance writer and author who has lived in several cities across the world, including New York, Buenos Aires, and Rio de Janeiro (now Toronto). In The Future Is Analog, David questions the notion of a completely digital future, arguing that we need to embrace the reality of human experience to create a healthy future. With the Covid pandemic, we have been forced to rethink the way we work, learn, and interact with each other. David believes that the best parts of quarantine were the least digital ones, like baking bread, playing board games, and going hiking. David is also the author of Save The Deli, The Tastemakers, The Revenge of Analog, and The Soul of An Entrepreneur. If you’re looking to explore the role of analog culture in our modern lives, this debate is for you. Enjoy the conversation…
