Real Work

There has to be a part of every modern person's psyche that screams to do something rather than type or read it on a computer screen. There's a persistent part of me that feels real work is done out in a field or with power tools - the work our forefathers did. We shouldn't dismiss the digital age, but let's not lose site of the things that actually make the world go: the physical infrastructure. For every website there are server racks and terminals. For every VoiP setup there are the actual receivers and understanding of the OSI layer and physics that make up these aethereal non-world we live in.

In short, get out there and do something with your hands. Volunteer, start a charity, learn to smith - just do something outside of the aether for a change.
