I don’t use Spotify and now I barely use Twitter, FaceBook Instagram etc. What does that make me? Well I suspect fairly unusual – better? I doubt that. One consequences of this digital hermit lifestyle is I don’t follow the latest whatever social media trend and I mostly sleep well at night. Am I disenfranchised? I don’t think so I just have too many other things going on in my life to really notice or care about the constant binary babble.

So what does any of this have to do with this image you might ask? In one sense nothing. But in a chronological sense it reflects the many changes in my life since it was captured in the early days of 2007. I have changed so much and so has the world. Back then I liked to keep abreast of the latest technological developments. Now I’m not that fussed. Getting old is a strange thing – it certainly changes your view of the world. I guess you see the emperor’s new clothes for what they are.

Of course not being on Twitter et al how would I know?
