I’m kinda sick of being on a computer but not of being online. I think I’d like something like ambient internet, where everything I use is a computer and online, but I don’t use specific devices called “computers”

I carry around this hand held computing device. It’s kinda like a tricorder from Star Trek

If you’re making a joke about phones, that’s still too close to a computer. Keyboard + screen as primary modes.

feeling quite morose that I can't splay out all 58,400 of my tweets onto a giant 360 degree superdome, with all the threads visualized, and then wave my hands around Minority Report style to delete the clutter and rearchitect the best into a megaweb of megathreads

I don’t think I want this. I want my normal non-computer interfaces, but for them to just be online. Whiteboards with cloud memory. Paper books with highlights that flow to Roam.
For digital native objects like threadthulhus and roam graphs, touchscreens but bigger.

Huh. I feel the opposite. As the internet pervades my attention, I prefer to keep it in a box. For years I kept it in the office and copied long form articles for evening reading. Now it's on this laptop in my den, and my Iphone beside me, and my TV in front of me.
