Holiday Ever After

I CAN’T DENY THAT TECHNOLOGY has done miraculous things for human beings in every aspect of our lives.

Living in the twenty-first century has given me an unimaginable advantage over my ancestors (with the small exception of getting on the property ladder without the assistance of my parents) and I accept that I live a life that my relatives, with their humble beginnings, would hardly believe.

But even as I start my day in my beautiful West Village apartment, I can’t escape the bone-deep jealousy of those family members who never had to wake up to twelve different people texting them “Have you seen this?!” and four missed calls from their father.

It’s a shock to the system that not even a cold plunge could achieve, and the twisted sense of terror that coiled in my gut when I saw three different social media platform links in my inbox lingers as I head into the boardroom at Davenport Innovation Creative headquarters.
