I recently watched a video on YouTube of a guy who challenged himself to disconnect from modern convenient media sources and only consumed his media from the public library. So that's what I've been doing for a while. My library has a huge selection of CDs, shows, books (duh) and much more.
This is more of a desperate attempt to disconnect from the web and its attention seeking sites, but I am enjoying this 'challenge' quite a lot. I much prefer having to choose which CDs to bring along rather than having 1000s of songs at my disposal, as many time I barely know what I want to listen.
It's not without its hardships however. While my brain matured after the internet started becoming a paywall with our attention turning into its currency, it still left some impressions on me. I usually streamed shows or watched random Youtube vids to pass time and I'm finding it hard to let go. While I hope this sudden change in lifestyle de-brainrots (lol) me, I'm also hoping to appreciate public libraries more and become more conscious when choosing the media I consume.
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk, feel free to grab a hot cup of tea on the way out and I hope you have a nice day.
