What will you romanticize about this era?
My daughter in Macoris, July 2026. After a bountiful meal centered around perfectly prepared chivo, we loaded up a 4-car caravan back to the campo in Villa Tapia.
In 10 years from now, (I imagine) I will romanticize when…
… we primarily built websites for humans to read and navigate
… the brackish waters of 5 generations were in the workforce, half of whom didn’t grow up online
… we wrote without AI influencing how we write
… we spoke without AI influencing how we think
… we could still feel the last vestiges of work as we know it, before it became what it is becoming
… side hustles were the side dish and not a bunch of tapas that now make up our professional main course
… there weren’t incessant vertical videos being shot about everything, everywhere…. all at once
What I will romanticize about this era (personally):
My toddler toddling
My daughter’s pronunciations of: gapkin, blanklet, hangaburrr, snall
Our close unit of 3, taking on flights and life one family gathering, adventure, and laundry bag at a time
