Is PITH for you?
Here is a recent example from PITH:
I was at the gym the other day, which is a strange experience for me. There were people pushing large tractor tires around the room and it made me wonder. If we spend our time replicating work from a past generation to keep fit, what might the gym of the future look like?
Will it be rows of desks with people exercising their typing fingers now voice activation is ubiquitous?
Or maybe machines with three pedals and a steering wheel?
Emails to PITH subscribers are infrequent and fairly random, but always short and pithy.
I’m not particularly public about it either – avoiding the ‘subscribe now and get a free gift’ approach. However, from time to time I let people know it exists, hence this post.
