去年の夏に、大切なことを習った。それは、「甘い物に入っていくのはお腹じゃなくて、心だよ！」これは、函館で出会った友人、ニコルさんの言葉である。学期間が７か月間だったので、日本での思い出を一つだけ選ぶのは難しいですが、私に最も大きな影響を与えてくれた友人を紹介したいと思う。

recently i have been wondering where tech lost its incentive for creativity
in the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s, innovation was a primary purpose of tech's growing field
releases were usually single-purpose devices which were optomized and customizable for the day-to-day life of individuals
but especially post-covid, newer tech increasingly orbits around a similar standarized ecosystem. tech's obsession has become profit, under which ruminates lost individualism and curiosity
