What Technology Has Done To Us
For those of us who grew up pre-internet and pre call waiting, we understand that there was a time when a person simply could not be reached. A time when a busy signal meant the other person had no clue that we tried to reach them. Where you had nothing else to do other than what you could come up with and if that wasn't watching TV, it usually had to involve being outdoors and/or involve other people...in the flesh. It meant alone time. It meant think time. It mean reading non-trivial stuff. Indeed it was a lot less distracting. So I was watching this guy on YouTube and wanted to share because it highlights just how much technology and modern life has changed how we live and how fast we live.
Are you unable to sit down, by yourself and not be "doing" anything?
