In this episode of From78, I reflect on how place and technology shape the way we experience time and connection. Recording from my office before a day of clinical work, I think about the privilege of listening, the importance of “regular” places where relationships once accumulated, and how those spaces seem increasingly rare.
Rather than simply criticizing technology, I explore a more balanced view—drawing on Marc Weidenbaum’s idea of being “digitally cozy”: staying engaged with books, walks, art, meals, and family while dialing back the constant churn of short-term online conversations.
I also reflect on how meaningful relationships can form entirely through technologically mediated means, setting the stage for an upcoming interview that continues this conversation.
