An essential part of my routine for being productive is to plug headphones or earbuds in, set a pomodoro timer, and get to work in my own little space. I use the headphone jack often, whether in the office or working remotely. I hate this trend of removing headphone jacks.
I hoping to see some discussion about Halt and Catch Fire: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt25...
I've watched a couple seasons of it via Amazon Prime video.
On one hand, it prioritizes drama and style over reality and technology. I have not watched Mad Men but I assume it is a Mad Men wannabe. One of the characters once says, "all hat and no cattle." And many scenes in HCF are indeed all hat and no cattle.
On the other hand, many of the depictions of the technology of its day are detailed and on point and very few dramas, if any, have created so many moments of "yes! I have experienced that very thing!"
