Pscateni ,

Life is better than any …verse

This was my first time listening to Fred (who I work with) and the topic was very attractive to me. I quit FB 6 or 7 years ago already, not an instagram or twitter guy either as I prefer human connection and interaction (not that much in the past 2 years), than algo driven, fake, 6 degrees of separation, social media communication. As Fred mentioned, reading a book is one of the best way to story telling. Your control the visuals behind each words, you feel, you love, you hate….You are.
Your creative mind will do it all and the results will be so much greater and your own.
Thanks Fred for this piece of reflection on a very contemporary subject.
