«"Burn the ships." It's the favorite refrain of keyboard motivational gurus. Those who pontificate on LinkedIn, explaining that if you keep a parachute in your backpack, you're actually just planning for failure. The all-or-nothing rhetoric: you have to be hungry, no plan B, you have to risk your neck at every…
Imagine the scene. You're a young designer in your early twenties. You're wearing a uniform hastily sewn three hours earlier, which itches like a colony of red ants. In front of you is a control stick. Under your feet, six hundred volts of direct current. And sitting directly behind you is the future...
For me, September 16th feels like a sacred pact. Several years ago, I tied my life to that of an extraordinary woman. A luminous presence, a mirror, a refuge without shadows. If I even think about deliberately hurting her, I feel a pang in my stomach. I can't breathe. Her name is…
A Samsung? A Huawei? An unknown China phone? No, no, my dears. Those who know me know that my digital heart has been apple-shaped for almost 30 years, long before it became a trend. So many have asked me: "WILL YOU GET IT?" Now... okay, I've always been convinced that quality, efficiency, usability, and so on have...
I have a terrible doubt. Are we really the most evolved species on the planet, or are we just primates with a fiber optic subscription and a desperate desire to be fooled? Take three minutes. Take a deep breath and come with me on a journey into the past. The year was 1274 BC. Orontes Valley, Syria. Battle of…
Scroll through your feed. Three seconds on a video of kittens, two on a clumsy dance generated by yet another algorithm hungry for cheap dopamine. Then, as punctual as a tax bill on August 15th, there it is: the archaeologist's comment about "things were better back then," strictly from the couch, with a secure profile and halting grammar. "Young people today no longer have…
I stare at that black cursor flashing on the screen. It beats in a regular rhythm. Tick, tock, tick, tock. Like an artificial pulse, cold, immobile. I open a chat, type a line of text, hit send. The machine responds in three seconds flat: polite, helpful, impeccable. It shines your shoes with pixels and makes you feel like a god…
Okay, you've just unveiled the new iPhone Duo. Which, needless to say, in perfect Cupertino fashion, promises to once again revolutionize the concept of foldable smartphones. An elegant book-style format with a compact 5.4-inch external display, a 7.6-inch internal display, the muscle of the A20 Pro silicon, and a software interface…
There are dates that mark a before and after in history: October 12, 1492, with Columbus's mistaken course; July 14, 1789, with the storming of the Bastille; February 13, 1919, when Charles Strite patented the automatic toaster. Then there's September 9, 1956. That evening, the world didn't see governments fall: it simply saw bourgeois decorum crumble...
The most beautiful words I've heard these days were spoken by an actor disguised as a comedian, with the face of someone about to tell a joke and instead gracefully stabbing you in the chest: "No one laughs in a foreign language. No one cries in a foreign language. Parents worry…
