Case @case.bsky.social · 22/09/2026The main difference between this time and now is you. When you want to get back to reading blogs, RSS feeds, and finish that tutorial instead of doomscrolling shorts, you have to get used to a slower internet.

Case @case.bsky.social · 19/09/2026The hand was designed, over several million years, to learn by touch. We have given it glass. 1196
Case @case.bsky.social · 19/09/2026The touchscreen is a tool the body cannot learn. Every swipe, every tap, every pinch requires the eye to confirm what the finger is doing. The body cannot build a map of a surface that never changes. So the learning never finishes. The tool never disappears. 2248
Case @case.bsky.social · 19/09/2026The tool drops below conscious awareness and the person is freed to attend to something else, to the joint, the route, the argument. 3110
Case @case.bsky.social · 19/09/2026When the body learns a tool, the tool disappears. The carpenter stops thinking about the hammer. The driver stops thinking about the steering wheel. The reader stops thinking about the way letters are formed on the page and imagines the world the writer weaved. 1206

Case @case.bsky.social · 07/07/2026The same can definitely be said of tech corporations, which are supposed to serve us, not the other way around. What’s missing in our home tech is a sense of etiquette, a broad set of social norms and expectations that set a baseline of dignity and respect. caseorganic.substack.com/p/sit-siricaseorganic.substack.comSit, Siri!Designing Our Tech to Have Good Etiquette 000
Case @case.bsky.social · 07/07/2026“Etiquette” might be a somewhat outdated term when it comes to human relationships.
