As someone that was alive during the 90's before the huge tech advancement boom, I have to say all these things we have today were considered the FUTURE and really cool at the time. we never expected it to get this far and intertwined with our lives. We still had balance. An outside life and an online life. ( Then again we also had some "limitations" I.e dial up internet, had to pay to use the internet on a phone, we didn't have wifi right away, etc. that probably had a hand in our using tech not as heavy) But now people are so engrossed with tech and social media, there is no balance anymore. Its sad. And I understand how you feel. I certainly feel myself wanting to go back to how things were for me growing up. Id prefer a home phone to make calls, using just a laptop to research or look things up, listen to music from an ipod or mp3 player instead, etc. Having everything all in one place or made "smart", while convenient, does nothing but make us too reliant to the point we're just robots it seems too.
right! im on my phone a lot but i dont have, insta, tiktok, snap anything like that but im still on it so much and its hard to get rid of it becuase of my FOMO

I can understand and relate a little. I think as i've gotten older and just seeing how things are so in our face these days with news, ads, forced algorithms and similar, I've gotten to the point where I used to feel FOMO but now I just feel really overwhelmed with it all. The content and interactions don't feel natural as they used to feel, and i've come to learn that if I miss something its NBD because it'll be there tomorrow, or the next day, or whenever I get around to it. If I'm not up to date than its whatever. I'd rather live in the moment and enjoy the memories made with my family, my siblings, my pet even, etc.
It can be hard to make such a change, but I think the more these things get shoved in our faces, forced on our lives, etc. more people will come around and also feel need to step back from it all and lessen their usage.

I feel you! i hate how this generaton works. ive recently got rid of my smart phone, and got a flip phone. spacehey helps me feel like its not 2026. i lowk hate the modern style of things. it feels so minimalist, i mean it is minimalist. life felt more wholesome before corprate minimalism. and, i like the way people dressed before sweatpants, hoodies, and basic white girl/clean girl aesthetic became the new fad. i think i might be a little annoying about this but i guess its just how i feel.
id love to be friend if u wanted
Xx
yes i'd love to be friends! i relate to this so muchhh
