Privacy

Back in the era of landlines, privacy was simple: when I wasn't beside the phone, I was unreachable for the world.

Today, technology allows us to be connected at every moment, a remarkable achievement that has quietly blurred the line between availability and obligation. We answer messages during conversations, check notifications at the dinner table, and carry everyone else's urgency in our pockets. Somewhere along the way, being unreachable became something that needed an explanation.

Perhaps privacy was never just about hiding from the world, but about having moments when the world couldn't reach us. Because being connected is a technological achievement. Choosing when to disconnect is a human one.
