As a creative piece, "The Comfort in Tangibility" is an opinion-led reflection on Gen Z's fascination with physical items or devices. It explores the "why" of this simple phenomenon in contrast to how they seem to have the whole world at their fingertips through technology — iPhones.
For example, a polaroid camera is a hot commodity for kids these days. Why on earth would we need to buy a camera, find some film for it, and then be limited to 10 shots on tiny squares when you could take thousands with a hundred times the quality in the time it takes for the picture to show up behind the plastic?
The theory behind the madness (or lack-there-of) isn't novelty — quite the opposite, in fact.
Being the Head Articles Editor for the Style & Culture magazine at the University of South Carolina was almost a full-time job on top of full-time studentship with a part-time internship. It made the two articles I was able to publish under my name that much more special.
"The Comfort in Tangibility" and "A New Gameday" hold a special place in the published works section of my heart.
