Why Physical Experiences Still Matter in a Digital World

Vinyl records are outselling CDs. Instant-print cameras are finding their way back into people’s hands. Even paper notebooks remain a must-have for many. But why are we seeing this resurgence of analog technologies in an overwhelmingly digital world? In this episode, David Sax, award-winning journalist and author of The Revenge of Analog and The Future is Analog, joins us to uncover why these physical experiences hold such enduring appeal.

We look into the deeper reasons behind this analog revival, exploring how tactile experiences fulfill human needs in ways that digital options simply cannot. From the joys of flipping through vinyl at a record store to the social aspects of analog photography, this conversation will challenge your perspective on the digital-versus-physical debate.
