I love this point. I think this conclusion paragraph ties up the project really well. Could futures/alternatives also be included here?

How much of our understanding of technology is empowered by a disconnect to greater implications of our purchases, uploads, etc
listening itself is tied to infrastructure
This is really interesting to think about. Listening seems so tied up with the arts, creative expression, and so when I stream music, I often imagine that I am just supporting an artist. But there is so so much more that is intrinsiclly linked to music, especially streaming services like spotify.
access
How much of my world, my existence, my memories etc, would I lose if I lost access to the digital world?
But this playlist depends entirely on digital access.
Thinking of purely digital content is really challenging to me. I feel like growing up with technology, I think that I have a strong grasp of the "cloud," but when I really think deeper about intangible media, it really starts to freak me out.
I wrote this as an annotation too but idk where it went: I love the picture on this page, I think that it perfectly ties together personal and greater global implications
At the same time, I am still using the phone while working through this.
this is so challenging to me. How can we challenge the digital revolution when often this challenge comes through a facilitation of technology itself? (i.e., spreading of information)
Battery shows how the device wears down over time
This was one of my favorite parts of the project, I think this commentary was sharply pointed at the capitalist nature of the tech industry.
each app becomes a way of noticing a different layer of the device.
its challenging in itself to imagine my phone with this many intangible layers. So often I just look at it as a black brick.
I love this image, I don't know how you edited it like this, but I think it sets up personal implications (with device name) and global implications with the other sections really well.
I use my phone constantly, but I don’t really think about what it is or what it depends on.
This is something that I really relate on. I never think about my phone or even this laptop I'm typing on now. But to start to think about the consequences, implications, everything tied up in technology use and the privilege that comes with it is so overwhelming, it is almost discouraging. But I think that's what makes this conversation, and your project, so crucial!!
