It dawned on me recently that I am getting old.

I don't feel it, and neither my body nor mind are not letting me down, but while talking to people I work with, it became apparent that most of them cannot remember a time before the mobile phone, or Google.

The idea of life without was alien to them - how would they do X or Y etc.

My only reply was to say "you didn't do that back then" lol.

Life used to be simpler. Today we fill our lives with complexity - sometimes for the sake of it - which invariably means entangling yourself more in tech.

Now project that out into the future....๐Ÿคฏ

I'm not convinced we are at peak complexity.

I can relate. I remember b/w tv and actually needing to get up and walk to the tv set and turn a knob to change channel or adjust volume. I also remember driving a manual car and transitioning to automatic. My current car will be 35 years old in May. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ I still don't have a clothes dryer or dishwasher. I'm not on any medication and neither is my husband (10 years my senior). Yet we do self custody our Sats and am here on Nostr (self taught, no young people around to help). ๐Ÿงกโœจ ๐Ÿ‘

We do have a dryer and dishwasher, but very rarely used.

I think we got them because that is what you do when having a new kitchen lol.

So much of life is just 'doing without thinking' and I am definitely not immune to it.
