I taught myself everything I need to know. Yet people who are only a few years younger than me (generally speaking, as it isn't true of everyone of course) seem to be so addicted to technology and can't comprehend people who aren't. I'm glad to see that itWellPlannedLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14639851771653623399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861145849543681491.post-35299164991541254122012-05-18T01:51:53.492-04:002012-05-18T01:51:53.492-04:00As a 25yr old I can assure you: you're not alo...As a 25yr old I can assure you: you're not alone, and it is not strictly generational. I look back on historical documentaries and TV programs with wide-eyed wonder...and so desperately wish I could have been born a few eras earlier. Yes there was hardship beyond my comprehension, but there was honesty behind it all, and I crave that from life.

Of course, this isn't always the case, but generally speaking. I agree too with the TV and radio - what's on these days is nothing compared to what was available years ago.WellPlannedLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14639851771653623399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861145849543681491.post-13484602939843065742012-05-17T21:43:42.306-04:002012-05-17T21:43:42.306-04:00Thanks for your comment, Wendy.

It's true that the people who are growing up with technology are at a loss - they don't know how to function without it. Moreover, they probably don't think they can. I'm glad I'm not alone in my opinion!WellPlannedLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14639851771653623399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861145849543681491.post-20715758018127102492012-05-17T19:29:45.331-04:002012-05-17T19:29:45.331-04:00And I agree with all you say - having just gone th...And I agree with all you say - having just gone through almost 8 hours of a tech trying to upgrade my computers to the Icloud plus put in a new modem and router - and he still has to come back because the router wa defective- pen and paper is so much more reliable - and the old movies, TV shows and the radio shows of old cannot be beat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861145849543681491.post-54845424448890203882012-05-17T18:49:38.200-04:002012-05-17T18:49:38.200-04:00I believe that our modern culture has lost touch w...I believe that our modern culture has lost touch with the past. We are forgetting how things used to be done and forgetting how to stop and appreciate the world around us. As an artisan, the methods and most of the tools that I use have not changed in hundreds of years. Many fellow artisans seek out antique tools to add to their studios to be able to reclaim older methods of doing things. Wendyhttp://nowastedink.comnoreply@blogger.com
