    Fellow GenXer here; life was great in the 70s & 80s (of course never appreciated it at the time); now I'm taking small steps to live how we once did - starting with no social media, more reading (books, not scrolling), more outdoors & getting away from the phone! (except for watching vids like this!) It's amazing how much one can do not being distracted by social media; if only more ppl could do this - social media, posting selfies etc gets you nowhere! (I understand many will disagree)- thanks for this vid

      I don't think technology is the issue, it depends on how you use it. Most lack discipline with social media but it can be used to learn things faster and be used to stay in touch with ppl that are far away. That's why I try to maintain my browsing to things that can better develop my skills and useful hobbies

      @@johnhernandez284 Absolutely agree with you there re. tech & family connections (although one can connect long distance without FB) & great for businesses too (and many businesses have a formal website), but I'm referring to those not as sensible as yourself, who can't moderate, whose life is consumed by it, those with MH issues caused by it, youths who are so addicted to it such that it's impacting their education and robbing them of a life, and those who rely solely on it for info rather than traditional means. There was life before SM and we seemed to cope just fine, but yes, I do agree with you :-)

    72 yrs on this earth that none own. I ran with all my brothers, we did not know that we were poor, no one told us. Not parents, neighbors, nor family. We all were at the same level, I guess. I learned to can, pluck and dip chickens and turkeys, helped wrap the venison and elk. We had water turns for the fields. We filled the coal bucket. We had chores that were done, or suffer the consequences. Harsh, but others were counting on us. I know it was better. I know. It was the best of times for us all.

    • @ananda_miaoyin

      Our day to flood the fields was on Tuesday. We would stand in the canal and peel off the 2x4's one by one to let the water in. Used the spillway as a water slide. We were 12 years old (I have a twin brother)
      We rode our horses to that spot.
      What a time to be alive.
      Believe it or not, it was the 80's!

      People are looking back on that time while wearing rose-colored glasses.

The internet and social media are just an evolution to the problems that people faced back then.

    We had very little but didn't know it. Grew a large garden and preserved our food. Hunted deer for meat. Made our own clothes and repaired them. Played outside all day and did the chores we had to do. Outside was our playground and nature taught us the rules. Sadly, most younger people will never understand how free our generation was.

    The constant tracking by apps, notifications, messages, and emails. People cannot escape these in this modern era.....But only we can appreciate life every day at least partly and not forget it and move forward.

Also I have hope as there are many people reconnecting to nature and themselves in these times too!

I felt that we needed to preserve these arts for the future. Quite profound for a 6 year old child.

All for infinite profits.
      You took the most prosperous nation the world has ever seen, and turned it into the most indebted in recorded human history....

    Where we are heading is grim. I don't fear for myself as I think I can manage things until I croak in (hopefully) 25+ years. I am very concerned about what my children will have to deal with though. At the very least I will make sure they recognize the BS thrown at them so they can reject the social and emotional manipulation.

I feel i am the last generation (first half of millennials) to remember how it felt to have freedom in the outside world. But yes i do agree being outdoors in nature is the best thing for everyone. The more the better. I hate modern society and i wish it was easy to shift my family's life off grid but they make it almost impossible by design... keep spreading the wisdom Bjørn!

The experience of the Rift Valley in Kenya was my moment of realisation, at the age of 9, that we are a speck on this planet, but what a glorious, comforting realisation it was. My spirit is free, no amount of surveillance cameras and petty rules and laws will ever own and control that 😊 Appreciate your wise words 🙏

    It was a slower pace of life much better than now.
