The Virtues of Time Over Money
The Brazilian newspaper A Tarde interviewed me about Street Use. Their question: does the street use of technology impact the poor differently than the rich?
My answer: “Everyone tries to personalize technology. The poor have time but no money; and the rich have money but no time. So the poor use their time to modify technology and the rich use money to personalize it. I always find what people do with time more interesting than what they do with money.”
