The efforts people go to for analogue
For 30-something technology writer Leigh, the digital world is just a part of her everyday life - there's no logging off. But despite all the boundless conveniences of the digital world, she says it can sometimes feel as if something has been lost in the transition to an intangible, instantaneous, always-on virtual society. Perhaps that's why analogue formats remain timeless - in fact, they seem more popular now than ever, especially amongst millennials. From board games and vinyl records to books, calligraphy and even old-fashioned letter writing, people are increasingly seeking avenues to bring a little more face-to-face back into their lives.
First broadcast on The Persistence of Analogue, 31 August 2018.
