I love how people blame things for their "problems". I don't recall a computer telling me I had to use it. I don't recall the internet putting a gun to my head and forcing me to use it. I don't remember when a smart phone - as smart as it is - telling me I had to use it or die. I also love how people used social media, the internet and even cellphones to bitch and moan about how life was so much better with the very things they use. You know there is a group of people that eschew modern day technology and conveniences. They are called Amish. If those who feel so goddamned imprisoned by technology there is good news. The prison gate is wide open and there are no armed guards on the wall. There is not even a wall. Just put the sonofabitch down, unsubscribe from the internet and sell your computer! By the way, people may not have had cell phones to help them talk to a girl but they STILL had and even "needed" technology to talk to members of the opposite sex. Computer dating dates back to the 1960 and no people didn't date computers. Again, computer dating was not forced upon people by computers or anything non-human. People decided to use or not use computer dating. Another form of hooking up with other people via technology that was around in the 80s were phone services and chat lines - usually 1-900 requiring credit cards but there were also regular numbers that were either free or paid. Such phone services still exist today. One such is called "Livelinks". By the way, the types of phones that were used to access these lines back in the "simpler times" were called "land-lines". These phones were usually hooked into wall jacks. Some were wireless but that only applied to the handset. The base still had to be plugged into a wall jack. For those bitching about how there was no texting back then. Well, in a way there was. It was called writing a letter and mailing it via the postal service - very much an option that still exists if people would opt NOT BE LAZY and exercise some patience. Passing notes in class is still an option for texting classmates but again, it's PEOPLE who decide to use a cellphone to do it and not the technology that decided for them. Guns don't hurt/kill people. People do. Cars don't hurt/kill people. People do. Airplanes don't fly into buildings. People fly airplanes into buildings. Cellphones don't complicate things. People with cellphones complicate things. Social media does not ruin people. People using social media choose to ruin themselves. While the TV is the reason people don't mingle in person as much as before it came into use, the TV itself didn't cause people not to mingle in person. People caused people not to mingle in person. Either people themselves decided to no longer go out but just sit on their asses in front of the boob-tube.... or as a collective, people caused the demise of places were people usually met and those places began to die off. No technology, not guns, not cars, not cellphones, not social media, not the internet, not computers, NOTHING stands in the way of bringing back the "good ol' days" - which never as good until they are days past - by choosing to get out from in front of the TV, or computer, put down the damn phone, decide get the hell out of the house or apartment and go to a park. Parks still do exist, you know. Stop blaming everything else for the demise of "simpler times" and start simplifying your own life. #simplertimes #technology #cellphones #shorts ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vX8WzMz68g

I just love how these pretentious people post how life was so much simpler when they didn't have cell phones computers internet or social media yet they use the shit out of this stuff like there's no tomorrow what gives? So if they think modern technology has made their lives complicated, they can always... not... use them... Oops wait a minute I forgot they're being forced to use them unless they be locked up in a concentration camp. They're "simple life" is waiting for them I don't see what's keeping them. Contrary to what they might believe, nobody is forcing them to use any technology they would rather not use. It would be much easier for them to gain back their simple life then it would be for me to visit North Korea. they are not prevented from not using that technology. However, I am prevented from visiting North Korea.. and not by North korea, mind you but this so-called "free country". #simplelife #simplertimes ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sbg3SCaog7A
