Going Analogue in a Post-digital Society

In an age where digital technologies permeate nearly every aspect of daily life, a curious countertrend has emerged: a deliberate return to analogue practices and experiences. Whether it’s jotting thoughts in a leather-bound notebook, sending handwritten letters, or choosing a mechanical watch over a smart one, many individuals are embracing the physical and the slow. This is the landscape of the post-digital society. As Nicholas Negroponte observed in 1998, “the digital revolution is over”. Digital technologies are no longer novel but deeply embedded in the everyday.
