What are the most important things needed to live a good life?

I think the Blackberry should have been the last phone. I think that the internet should have stayed slow and purposeful. I wish humans weren’t destined to innovate, it’s going to lead to our own destruction.

The most important things in life are outside of modern day technology, like connections with others (both human and nonhuman) and having meaningful life experiences.

Technology advancement needs to cool it for a second, for real. Like, yes keep innovating the climate-helping and medical technology, but phones, social media, and the internet in general? Dear god make it stop.

There were generations before me who loved entire lives and then at the very end were there to see the telephone for the first time. Imagine living your whole existence one way and then suddenly there’s a new tech, that blows your mind. You can’t understand it, you can’t learn to understand it, you don’t want to because wits new and scary. I’m worried about what it will be for my generation.

Currently there’s digital clothing. Clothing you buy to only “wear” in photos of yourself online? Huh?? That’s pushing it to dystopia for me. We have advanced too far. I think it’s rotting our minds to have this much power at our fingertips. Things should have ended at the Blackberry like I said… we should have stayed at that point in our phone tech. These iPhones and big screened devices are overstuffing our brains with information we should never have had to know. I think we should have the most basic of chat rooms you have to wait hours to log in to, internet that can connect us to each other, and that’s it.

Before 2003, if you hated the internet, you were just ignorant. Anything post sliding keyboard on a phone… we have reached critical mass.

It’s time to slow down. My screen time was at 10 hours a day in 2020. It can’t keep going, and I’m scared it will… I want to make the commitment to go outside more. I want to cut down on screen time, and focus on making memories than staring at this box of depression.

The reason I have this blog is to record my memories. I write about things I’m passionate about, things in my life of note, and random ponderings. That’s the reason I take photos too. It’s simply for my own scrapbook. I want to continue to do this, and seize the day more at the same time.
