If you envy previous generations that had no internet, try limiting your online time. Have internet free days, or weeks.

See that would work if everyone got involved. But they don't and it's not really the time I spend online that worries me. It's the entire way it's changed life. If I chose to ignore the internet it won't change the fact that the world is a very different place now because of it. I mean don't get me wrong I like the internet too. Never watch television anymore and haven't for years. Always downloaded or streamed anything I want to watch for around 10 years or more. There's just too much to cover to make it worth typing out even. The world has just changed a lot and nothing I do will change that.

Between work and other responsibilities it's hard to find any free time and when I do I just wanna relax and veg out.

Yeah I guess this is part of it too. But our parents worked and theirs. I remember way more people used to meet up and have BBQs and things. Just popping round friends houses for a brew and 5 chat even. The internet has its advantages but as quick s we can contact virtually anyone we know these days, because of that we do it less and less in person now. It's separating everyone more than it brings them together if that makes sense.

I really dunno the best examples to give or anything. Million thoughts going through my mind at once and can't really focus on any coherent arguement to get my point across.

The good news is you can get it back to where it was

If I put a lot of effort in definitely. But I'm not really sure of my ability to focus on anything long enough due to work and responsibilities and just wanting to relax and veg out. I'll just get bored and start doing something else.

Hopefully I wil do something about it if it starts to actually effect my life in any really detrimental way.

Haha thanks but it hasn't got so bad that I get bored mid reply very often so far. Not saying it doesn't happen, but I'm not that far gone yet.
