Technomads / Ignite Toronto 4 / Sept 2010

The things we own end up owning us.

We all buy too much shit

Most of it we rarely use

Some of it we never use

We buy this crap and then we store it. And then we brag about how much stuff we have.

But honestly that just turns us into stuff babysitters. Good job. Really.

Americans spend $22 Billion on storage every year.

More than 7.5 sq ft of storage space per person in the US

Most of this crap we could just borrow from a friend. I’m not saying don’t spend money. I’m saying think more about what you are spending your money on.

The one who dies with the most toys wins?

Bullshit.

The one who dies with the most experiences wins.

WTF experiences? •Go places •See things •Try new stuff •Have dinner with friends •Ride your bike •Fuck the same old shit and your lame comfort levels

I have an idea. (as represented by this awesome lightbulb)

Maybe spend your money on doing things rather than buying things. Spend your time experiencing things rather than buying things.

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” - Dr. Ferris Bueller, Esq

Modern technology helps

So what are you waiting for? You only get one shot at life. Are you doing it right?

I’m trying to start a REVOLUTION
