We talk a lot about how technology has changed kids relationships with their friends and how they stress if they text someone and they don’t get an immediate response back. Back in the day we, like the guy in the video had a rotary phone and our friends maybe called or not….and if they did you had to respect the rules of using the phone at your house. I wasn’t allowed to just chat for hours…..you had to have a purpose for calling or being called and that was just how it was.

It’s a shame we can’t enjoy all the perks and be happy in how amazing everything is…..instead we just get more and more impatient and appreciate things less!  In fact, while amazing……I think  some technology takes our time rather than saving it.  We, like our parents before us (they probably thought we just didn’t get it either!!),  I guess are a little saddened that the generation of today missed out on all the pre-technology things in life…..radio shows, silent movies, black and white TV, 8 track tapes, vinyl albums, rotary phones (with no answering machine!), cooking the traditional way, in an oven or on the stove instead of a microwave are a few things I can think of…. This generation lacks a point of reference on how much things have changed.

Our economy is in crisis and maybe like this chap says, it’s time to get back to a simpler way of life.  We may in the end not have a choice.

Check out this video, it really made some good points I think……and it is really funny!

So, let me know what you think? Do you agree? or not?

Cheers!
Enjoy the day!
