Give Me a Tour of Your Digital Life
Often I find myself searching about how other people use the tools I use. Everyone has a slightly different config and I almost always come out learning something new. But it's not really about the tools. I am more interested in the person. How they found it, and why they chose to keep it.
What fascinates me is how a tool that comes with its own defaults gets shaped to fit someone's life. The settings they changed, the habits built around it. A notes app is a good example, the same app can be someone's journal, their todo list, their draft folder. Same tool, completely different thing.
There are the aesthetic setups, which I appreciate. But I am more drawn to the functional ones. How someone made something for themselves.
I also wonder about people in vastly different fields. What do Literature majors use? Philosophy people? Psychology people? It's not just what they pick but why that profession reaches for that specific thing.
There are times I want to ask people "Give me a tour of your digital life, tell me everything" but can't because, well, most people have better things to do. But the desire is real.
It's modern people watching, really.
