"I still wear a Casio electronic watch on my hand, similar to the one I had when I was 15 years old. I bought it because otherwise I would have to constantly watch my phone, and there I am distracted by a lot of other things, "says Jamie Bartlett, author of The People Vs Tech.

But it's important for him to be able to "rip" the Internet while he's working.

"It's not that l & rsquo; IPod Clbadic is really good, but it still allows you to keep the music in your pocket. What if everything is uploaded to the cloud and disappears one way or another in 30 years? format, the music is stored physically in these old gadgets and it's soothing in a certain sense, "says the director.
