Last wednesday, I spoke to Michael Italia from Young Magic. Good thing he’s not big on social networking because I would have been embarrassed for all the spamming. Anyway, the interview is up. Click here for all of it. Below is a little snippet of, enjoy ( :
MI: I’m actually thinking of getting rid of it (phones), altogether. This is kind of my romanticized, idealistic view that I’d love to write letters to people. I know that would not work and I would probably lose a lot of friends. When I was traveling, I didn’t have a phone and I really enjoyed it. I guess because when you met someone and made a plan to meet them at a particular time, there is no backing out. That’s the plan and you stick to it. I find that everything happens more naturally and organically without that “oh last minute, I have to back out because I have to do this and that”. I guess that’s a whole different beast when you’re traveling and on the road. You don’t need a phone and that adds to the experience of you being completely free. Not being tied down to emails or things you need to respond to or phone calls and messages. You’re just kind of flowing but I don’t think that will work in New York.
