This question has been on my mind for a very long time, but especially in the last two or so weeks.
I remember playing guitar, working out in the yard and enjoying it, spending time with actual human beings in the flesh, and having a sense of bonding with my fellow man. I remember reading quite a lot of books, utilizing the full extent of my weekend to go here, there, and everywhere with friends, creating real relationships with people, and just being a human being.
This is only my opinion, but we have changed as a species. We are so uniformly programmed by the current state of technology that it almost seems life without it would drive someone utterly mad. We've really lost the human connection to each other, and I am sad about that.
I've really cut down on my internet usage since coming back home to MA from FL. I permanently deleted facebook, twitter, and all these other social sites, and basically (aside from informational sites like Wiki) I only frequent this board and Tumblr, which may as well be on its way out of my life as well. Man, I want to get back to being my old self, that didn't rely on technology to exist. Remember when we didn't have all the answers at our finger tips and life was exciting to find the answers through our own experiences with others?
/end sad rant.
