A new year means new perspectives. Here are some words which we would like to see officially appear in the dictionary, and which we would like to use more in everyday life in the coming months.

Cyberminimalism: This term, popularised by French author Karine Mauvilly, refers to a pared-down approach to technology. After all, now that we've managed to turn our homes into minimalist havens thanks to Marie Kondo, why not do the same with our digital habits? Let's ditch our smartphones, put away our tablets, turn off our computers and try to resist the tyranny of the digital. We've already heard this piece of advice a thousand times, but in 2021, it's time to implement it.
