Do you remember life before the internet?
I remember life before the internet .. people used to talk and read books !! Life was a slower pace. People cared about each other, they had conversations with the neighbours and had time for to check in.
I remember seeing it for the first time when you would dial it up and hear it ringing through the modem . It was like something out of Star Trek ! How could all this information come through a telephone ??
The internet has changed society .. not always for the good . It has created a throwaway society and people out for that quick dopamine rush. Old fashioned values such where the family would sit around the table has decreased and kids don’t read books, they scroll. I remember drying flowers as a child, making book marks and perfume out of petals . Games of make believe
There are the good features of the internet – knowledge is at our fingertips, we can shop online, research on line and it is an unbelievable source of research
But I miss the simplicity of life before it, not every event was filmed, no showing off what fabulous holiday you could afford, life was more real and authentic .. I miss those days!
