I enjoyed looking at this on my small screen while listening to something playing on my big screen.
Yes, because doing accounting on paper is the same as reading a book. And listening to your boss is the same as listening to your friends.
And rope bondage play with the wife is the same as tying down loads of sheet metal on the back of delivery truck.
What?
As a psychiatric nurse, during my work day I watch my screen for about 1 out of 8 hours. When I come home I like to spend some time behind the screen. I sometimes wonder if it is necessary that so many people work behind screens. Shouldn’t we get more people to work as nurses, teachers but also craftsman, handyman, etc. This may sound as a naive and romantic thought, and I’m sure a lot of the work behind screens is extremely useful and efficient. But still I wonder if we haven’t somehow lost focus of what’s important. Like we’ve started to think that we can solve everything behind the computer, while simultaneously things are falling apart, people are lonely and people in need don’t get help.
You guys realize there’s jobs that don’t require constant screen usage right?
My job involves utilizing a screen all day, but I actually only tend to frequently glance up at it and don’t spend a lot of time staring directly at it. I use voice dictation software for my job so I just do quick checks that it’s working and I’m on the right screen essentially. Most of my work is with my hands and it can be pretty neat! There are a lot of kinds of jobs out there!
Become a network admin and you can stare at blinking lights instead, making sure they don’t stop blinking.
Yes, but most of them involve constant interaction with people that have forgotten how to interact with people.
Trust me, we got screens there too now.
But we do get good excuses to smash em now and then. Oopsie doodles.
And the more control you have over the work the more screen time you get. My family has a lot of contractors, and my dad left that to work trades for the government. Before my dad died he spent most of his day on his computer, even though it was his least favorite part, but he was the head of his department. My contractor uncles all spend hours a day on screens, calls, orders, book keeping, meetings, drafting, reading specifications, reading contracts, etc., now that they are the head of businesses that have younger people doing most of the physical work.
