Cutting The Cord 2.0
YouTube had to go.
The app had to get deleted from my iPad.
It was too easy to carry a video with me around the house, on the breakfast table, in the bed, on the couch...
It was too lucrative to simply hit play and watch hours and hours of videos in a good resolution screen that fits nearly anywhere around me. I took pride in my eclectic interests: cars, off road trucks, cooking, organization, woodworking, film talk, trailers... the list is endless.
I used to take pride in not having cable, for having cut the cord.
I had just replaced one coaxial cord for a wireless one.
So I reduced my ability to access youtube. I will watch videos but on my desktop computer which is not easily portable to the couch, bed or breakfast table.
Youtube is comfortable. I don't have to think. I can just scroll around, tap the glass screen and watch for hours.
Time for less watching and more doing.
Time to cut the cord again.
