BROKEN VOICES
Every one of us has to follow the inevitable arc of life. Some learn things earlier, some are privileged to have better teachers, but we all learn to walk and speak, boys voices break in the process of discovering their masculinity and finding their voices. And we all make age-old mistakes.
Organisations, countries and civilisations follow lifecycles too, where they need to learn, break and relearn patterns in order to innovate and move forwards.
Technology, first presented as perfect, or groundbreaking, gets disproportionate hype, before stumbling through the trough of disillusionment. While idealistic solutions developed in labs in the 5G first world, jitter, freeze and distort once scaled up in the wilds of Africa, or just less than perfect WiFi zones.
But, our voices break, we get stronger, and we carry on, towards another attempt at progress.
In this world, we question what defines reality. Relationships built in the virtual world aren’t any less real. Some disagree. But, for many of us, much of our reality continues to exist thanks to these broken video connections and poor WiFi on long-distance travels.
