I think technology gives the illusion that you are connecting with people, social media particularly.
It’s not necessarily bad that you have angst or you have anger – it’s what you do with it, how you interpret it into something profoundly moving.
The one thing that I know from the personal experiences that I’ve had with hackers and from people in tech who are brilliant at this thing, is there’s a lot of angst.
I did not love going out to parties or even get-togethers, really – I went to the movies, which, if you think about it, is an isolating experience anyway – and this was because I had anxiety about interacting with people.
I used to want to be a critic. I think it’s an awesome job. You get to watch all this stuff and then write about it and analyze it and give insight into it. That’s an amazing job. I was terrible at it, though.
To me Sam’s most notable work is Mr. Robot. If you haven’t seen it, it’s definitely worth a watch. Here’s his Wikipedia link to learn more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Esmail
Have a great Wednesday, folks!
Until next time…

I like this quote: It’s not necessarily bad that you have angst or you have anger – it’s what you do with it, how you interpret it into something profoundly moving. Not that familiar with Esmail. Checked out the trailer for Mr. Robot which looks a little dark for me but interesting nontheless.

Mr. Robot was a terrific show. I loved it, but my tastes in movies, tend to gravitate toward tragedies (The Sopranos, The Sons of Anarchy, Breaking Bad, etc.). That being said, this one has a huge twist. I really enjoyed it and was bummed out that it ended.
