We need to re-create boundaries. When you carry a digital gadget that creates a virtual link to the office, you need to create a virtual boundary that didn't exist before.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Establishing boundaries is essential in a digitally connected world to maintain a work-life balance.
In an age where digital devices keep us constantly connected to our workplaces, it is crucial to create virtual boundaries to distinguish work time from personal time. This means making a conscious effort to not let the demands of our professional lives intrude upon our personal time, thereby fostering a healthier work-life balance and preventing burnout.

I like going to Burning Man, for example. An environment where people can try new things. I think as technologists we should have some safe places where we can try out new things and figure out the effect on society. What's the effect on people, without having to deploy it to the whole world.
