I find it hard to leave my phone in my pocket when I’m at lunch. I recently left my phone in a hotel room when I went to dinner and I felt uncomfortable; something was wrong. I switch it on as soon as my plane has landed – none of this waiting to arrive at the gate nonsense.Sherry Turkle, a psychologist and professor at MIT, has written a book, Alone Together, that looks at how. Technology is changing the ways we relate to each other and create our inner lives. Much of the book investigates the impact on children but she also details how adults use their phones and technology to create false closeness and by default, an aching distance. In a recent piece in the New York Times, Turkle explained how technology allowed us to disengage at will, helped us to avoid conversation when things got too uncomfortable or
Her piece ended, “I spend the summers at a cottage on Cape Cod, and for decades I walked the same dunes that Thoreau once walked. Not too long ago, people walked with their heads up, looking at the water, the sky, the sand and at one another, talking. Now they often walk with their heads down, typing. Even when they are with friends, partners, children, everyone is on their own devices.” It’s a vision we have all been part of, unfortunately. I’d like to change; well, I think I would. A couple of people close to me have tried interventions but I have beaten off their sect-crushing ways. Yet I watch people on trains unable to look up and see the passing mountains, or the friends at dinner who are there it seems to keep sending messages to Facebook acquaintances, or the lovers who miss the flicker in their partner’s eyes.

Andrew Tuck show on a laptop – unless they happened to be staying with their grandparents (or round my house). And then there’s the nagging feeling that there’s an expanding group of people who are, or have been forced to be, less materialistic. Pushed out of the housing market, more likely to move cities for work, getting hitched later and later – all these things have combined to make an anti-consumer time-bomb. It’s created.
If you don’t want to reveal your age in our office I suggest that you steer clear of any conversation involving cars, televisions, home phones or cameras. Anyone under 30 will probably have none of the above and, what’s more important, not lust after any of them either. We are of course talking about a particular demographic here – lots of team Monocle have come to London from other cities so they try to stay centrally if possible to make the most of the experience (so bike wins over car), they have often lived in numerous apartments (who’d want a landline?), and they are young (why stay at home and watch TV?). But the Monocle mindset is being replicated all over the western world, especially the urban one. Last week the Federal Highway Administration in the US reported that the number of 14 to 34 year olds without a driver’s licence rose to 26 per cent from 21 per cent a decade earlier. Meanwhile the use of cycling, public transport and two feet among 16 to 34 year olds rose. Sure, some of this may be down to blunt economics: if you think the chances. Then there’s the flight from quality.—AT ISSUE 56 — 04

The dish Wishfull thinking
WRITER
Andrew Tuck Drinks at a smart hotel after work. Two glasses of something chilled. And two bowls: one piled high with fat green olives, the other teeming with something roasted and nutty. After a few sips I want both and go in for the olives. My guest, a chic woman with less fat on her body than a gazelle, touches neither. Not wanting to look greedy, I leave them alone too. After 30 minutes an aproned waiter switches the bowls for fresh ones – despite them only being one olive down on their original haul. Breakfast at one of those London restaurants where trade is brisk even at 8am. This time I have been invited along to talk about a new publishing venture. I order – eggs, scrambled, and, yes, toast, please too. And coffee? Of course.

01 Isabellas Centurion, Pretoria For foodies around the world the idea of having a last meal is harrowing. It’s an existentialist conundrum that is enough to drive gourmands mad, a certainty that can’t be evaded, a halt to pleasure and taste. In every issue of Monocle we ask personalities to tell us how they would spend their final repast. Although the interviewees can choose their own restaurant and could easily spend a fortune on a feast, most of them end up opting for a small, cosy gathering of family and friends,
After reading many of these interviews I decided to taste our own medicine and asked myself what my last meal would be. It’s not an easy question. Besides selecting who to invite (family and friends, of course), it’s a puzzle that left me with the imbarazzo della scelta – the awkwardness of choosing. Would I start with a delicate white truffle risotto? Or a mountain of deep-fried plantains and empanadas smothered with guacamole instead? Would my grandmother’s rabbit stew make the perfect main course or should I get her to make the brigadeiros for dessert? Would I be allowed to have more than one main course? I pondered this for days but was still unable to find an answer. The barbecue ribs at Shorty’s in Miami. ISSUE 56 — 06

07 — ISSUE 56
No wonder some – serious – business books suggest that you eat before you go to a key lunch so that you don’t look greedy and certainly never risk getting spinach tooth. Alcohol is particularly tricky. When your lunchtime date asks if you’d like a glass you have to be cautious it’s not a trick question. You say, yes, and they reveal a long history of alcoholism (it’s happened to me more than once). I tend to press on but the message is clear – you have a job where you don’t have to be as sharp as your dining companion – or is that “opponent”? Even the bread basket promises both tasty temptations and carbohydrate remorse. I recently tore off a piece of something perfectly plump and just out of an oven and one of the people at my table gasped. And a real gasp. “Do you eat bread?” he wondered. Then half-joking: “obviously no beach holiday for you then.” Not all the people I know are lean and mean. There’s something delicious about going to dinner with someone who likes food and wants to try everything. This restaurant restraint would never know are lean and mean. — MW

DESIGN SHOULD SPEAK FOR ITSELF — Global
01 Decorex Gallaghar convention centre, Midrand Sophisticated branding is of course brilliant. But I’m a little worried it’s getting out of control as far as young designers are concerned. Does a table really need a book and a short film to be explain why it’s good design? The notion of good design is that it should speak for itself. It’s not just that there’s a lot of material to wade through that’s the problem, it’s that young designers feel it’s necessary – and enough – to sell their design. After watching a mildly amusing animation about some dancing cutlery I asked one young graduate why his cutlery was an improvement on what exists already? That might sound harsh but he couldn’t answer. And if he on earth would he persuade.

What on earth is the point of the animation and printed matter, the logo, the packaging, if the designer himself can’t speak simply about why his design is valid? Clever, creative branding
should be supporting material, not a substitute for human communication, not something for designers to hide behind. I mentioned this to a friend of mine somewhat
Today’s young designers are impressively versed in the art of branding across many different forms of media. Whilst in Milan recent for the annual Salone Internazion del Mobile furniture fair, the stands dedicated to graduates and students were populated as much by new products as they were by videos, animations, cartoons, illustrations, graphics and sophisticated branding to promote them. Designing a chair is only half the story for a student these days – designing the mess and story that comes with it is seem as important a part of the process. I’ve returned with a small forest of printed material, a library of CDs and USB sticks. And going through it in an attempt to file it all I’m struck by how obscuring it is of the designs it’s all intended to promote. I have a 32-page manga comic devised around single. — HM ISSUE 56 — 08

MARKETS THAT MATTER — Global 01 Antiques fair Pretoria Preface Sophisticated branding is of course brilliant. But I’m a little worried it’s getting out — I was born in the 1960s. My dad was 50. So the London he told me about living in as a young man may seem dusty and distant to you. In his twenties, for example, he commuted to work in London’s Holborn by train and tram; the latter a type of transport – like my dad – long since vanished from London’s streets. Today by some nice coincidence I live in Holborn, an area of the city that sits between the busy shoppacked neighbourhood of Covent Garden and the Inns of Court, home for centuries to the country’s leading legal folk. One of the odder landmarks in Holborn is the cobblestoned exit from a subterrane
