Life has gotten weird

I rememeber before the internet and cell phones and apps and AI. We used to call people on the telephone if we wanted to talk to them.There wasn't this constant stimulation like there is today. People didnt gossip about other people quite so widely as now. Like all the people hating on the president and Elon Musk. All the "celebrity" bs. A million pictures flooding your eyes like 24/7. I need to get off the computer lol but thats like most of my social interaction.

I mean, sure I still read books. I even watch tv or movies occassionally, but its not like it was before, pre-internet. I mean, sure, lots of things are great. It's easy to be proficient at almost anything with so much information at your fingertips. And the shopping. You can buy almost anything you want and have it delivered to your door. Im not saying its bad its just so different from when i was younger. Now there's no escaping the internet. You need it for so many things.

Idk. I guess Im just rambling and have no real point to this. Just speaking whats on my mind. Maybe i oughta try a break from the computer. Its just so hard lol. I guess this is life now.

I wonder what people older than me think and if they have adapted the same way.

It's pretty crazy how dependant on the Internet we are for everything. If calamity strikes and the web goes down, we'd be set back a hundred years or so.

Then I guess we'll have to interact they way we did before the Internet

@caPnAhab We have set ourselves up for that inevitable disaster. Everything will stop as we know it.

@caPnAhab I figure if there's no bank access there's no billing or collections also. Hmm how long before the power shuts down?
I can't put a percentage on readiness.
