No one asks to be buried with his iPad
 
No One Asks To Be Buried with His iPad - The New Yorker

"To be living and to be free, as Crawford sees it, consists of “skillfully engaging” with the obstacles and frustrations of reality, as when playing musical instruments, repairing engines, raising children, or sailing boats."

Thoughts?

I probably agree with this article but there's too much hipster bull **** in it to actually make it more than halfway through.

I guess I am just a bit to literal of a person and don't understand the "deep thoughts" of many writers. Of course no one wants to buried with an iPad, the batteries will go just as dead as the corpse in a short time. And dead people have no use for anything anymore, especially electronic gadgets.

If he is only classifying analog/physical as "reality", then he is woefully out of touch with what is really happening in the world.
