RE: Choices! What will it be? #53
I grew up without internet.
Instead of gazing at a screen we played outside and did boardgames.
We went outside to do our groceries, met and greeted people and had time for a chat. We didn't live in a world filled with plastic.
On Wednesdays the man who sold cheese, eggs and chicken drove through our street. We could see the quality.
Milk/diaries were delivered in glass bottles daily. The bakery delivered on Saturdays.
We went to the.cinema, theatre, people sang if they were outside or doing the house chores.
Paying bills wasn't complicated at all. I doubttime is saved since no one has time for a visit or chat. I even see that on #Steemit. 80% of the comments are never answered, it's about posting and leaving. Not even free upvotes are given. All I hear is 'I am busy'.
People today miss peace of mind, have a hard time tofocus on what is written, are always bored and still in a hurry. It sounds odd to me how much we did, way more, than people today with all the help and online info.
I did not deny that life was not good without the Internet. Life was quite natural at that time and i have also enjoyed this time. It's just that life is quite easy with the internet because the internet provides so many facilities.
80% of people don't respond but there are 20% of people who talk nicely.
I'm glad you visit my post and we chatted through the comments. Have a good day 💕☺️
You made it sound as if we had no life by saying you had no idea how we lived. By now I think life was better, more social. Today many complain about being lonely, lack of friends, there are more and more depressions. It's clearly hard to switch off the computer and phone.
Kind of sad.
Thanks for the talk.
👋🍀
You're welcome☺️
