It is just about the time when the world shift dramatically. When there stop being wires for phone and computers, eventually even for power. When everything paper finds its way and its primary use in the virtual spaces briefly recored on your eyes.
And it is time we took some stock and figured out what we want to keep. Like when a relative is near death and you start looking around at the various antique furnitures and large Persian rugs and creating a mental checklist.
What I'm saying is think about a thing you like in the physical world and think about how it might not have so much of a function in the oncoming world and then tag that thing as historical and worth preserving for some ill conceived aesthetic reason that is actually the mask for some longing for imagined simplicity.
But do it quick. I'm choosing wooden telephone and powerlines cause they are like the cities trees. A bit of the old world died and used by civilization but still telling tales about generations before generations. Dibs.
