At heart I’ve never felt at one with the digital age we live in (that’s if you want to call it living) I think people had a better quality of life in years gone by, okay you had a shorter life expectancy but none of the horseshit technology has imposed on us, from morning to night technology, so called social media what is it really but a game of oneupmanship, there’s a hypothesis that the more we rely on technology the more suicide rates go up. Just step outside the door what will you see but everyone on smartphones, conversation is becoming a lost art. It’s ironic I have to use technology to denigrate it. I think I would of flourished 50 or a 100 years ago but in today’s world is it really worth the aggravation, perhaps I’m romanticizing the past but do we really have long to go as a species with technology advancing at breakneck speed, maybe the luddites were right after all. I walked into Mc Donald’s the other day they want you to order your food via touchscreen, then your issued a ticket with a number the queue spilled out thru the door messily and twenty minutes elapsed before my number came up, it will be the drivethru for me from now on. Perhaps it’s just me who can’t seem to get on board with technology but I just had to rant on this topic

I feel the same way. I would have taken the shorter life free of technology any day. Such a paradox because it’s the reason I am on this site in the first place… riddled with anxiety and depression
