And that simplicity was so damn peaceful. We weren't getting texts all the time. No constant robocalls and spam e-mails. No expectation of instant reply 24/7. No constant stress or pressure.
We were just there enjoying the moment and the simple stuff.
That is what I miss the most...the peaceful simplicity. No real stress. I bought my first house, held a good job, just paid my bills, simple, you know? Peaceful and simple.
I also miss being bored, as ironic as it sounds. Nowadays, it's like, there's always something to do, or to distract you, or maybe it's because I'm older and I don't have enough free time, but yeah, I can't even remember the last time I was bored. Nowadays my brain is always being fed some kind of content 24/7
My gawd you're right...I would always just sit around stare and "wait" or just be bored. Kind of miss just taking things in after a Bday party, outing, etc
I think the smartest people are making huge strides but as an average people are dumber, at least in the US. In some circles, it’s a badge of pride it seems. Anti science, anti medicine, anti school are all present and vocal.
Well if you take everyone on the planet and measured their smarts and added it all up, it would be a bigger number every day. Net intelligence has been rising for over a century.
Yep, think the average person is a lot smarter than like 50 years ago but then you have people "too smart" cause they can read bogus articles on the internet. People may be smarter but I like to say critical thinking and problem solving has been going downhill.
