I myself love having my phone and being able to use messengers to meet people around the world. I remember how horrible it was having insomnia and nothing to do, but with the advent of smartphones came Kik and WhatsApp which led to meeting people in other areas which led to my body learning to operate on other time zones. It's like extreme jet lag and impossible to fix. Not a complaint, but it is difficult operating on a different schedule than everyone around me.
@CallmeHopelessNotRomantic yeah, I'm suppose there are some valid arguments against every kinda tech; even indoor plumbing.

@stound most people say, turn your phone off. I'm like, my brain has learned this for like 8 years. It's not as simple as no phone I'll sleep. Even sleeping pills don't fix it. Because my brain thinks it's 8 am instead of 3 am.
@CallmeHopelessNotRomantic yeah, it can be difficult getting over brain programming.

Count on it. I remember my great grandfather once told me when I was as a child that he much preferred being able to go down to the outhouse and “have peace”. With an indoor “commode” it was just too noisy with all the family talking and moving around to “concentrate” on the task at hand. 🤭
@bijouxbroussard I don't think I've ever heard anything like that; I think my family, in general, is usually pretty keen to adopt new tech. I think it's a general geeky factor.

@stound Well, I was 5 when my great grandfather passed away, at age 85. He was born in 1880. So consider what “technology” meant back then. His grandson, my uncle Yves, worked for NASA.
@bijouxbroussard cool. so did my dad. actually there for when it switched from NACA to NASA. it's kinda something to think how far and sorta ow fast things have snowballed.
