    Fellow GenXer here; life was great in the 70s & 80s (of course never appreciated it at the time); now I'm taking small steps to live how we once did - starting with no social media, more reading (books, not scrolling), more outdoors & getting away from the phone! (except for watching vids like this!) It's amazing how much one can do not being distracted by social media; if only more ppl could do this - social media, posting selfies etc gets you nowhere! (I understand many will disagree)- thanks for this vid

      It's funny seeing people's faces when I tell them I don't have Facebook, or Tiktok, or whatever else is out there.

      I don't think technology is the issue, it depends on how you use it. Most lack discipline with social media but it can be used to learn things faster and be used to stay in touch with ppl that are far away. That's why I try to maintain my browsing to things that can better develop my skills and useful hobbies

      @@johnhernandez284 Absolutely agree with you there re. tech & family connections (although one can connect long distance without FB) & great for businesses too (and many businesses have a formal website), but I'm referring to those not as sensible as yourself, who can't moderate, whose life is consumed by it, those with MH issues caused by it, youths who are so addicted to it such that it's impacting their education and robbing them of a life, and those who rely solely on it for info rather than traditional means. There was life before SM and we seemed to cope just fine, but yes, I do agree with you :-)

    72 yrs on this earth that none own. I ran with all my brothers, we did not know that we were poor, no one told us. Not parents, neighbors, nor family. We all were at the same level, I guess. I learned to can, pluck and dip chickens and turkeys, helped wrap the venison and elk. We had water turns for the fields. We filled the coal bucket. We had chores that were done, or suffer the consequences. Harsh, but others were counting on us. I know it was better. I know. It was the best of times for us all.

      Our day to flood the fields was on Tuesday. We would stand in the canal and peel off the 2x4's one by one to let the water in. Used the spillway as a water slide. We were 12 years old (I have a twin brother)
      We rode our horses to that spot.
      What a time to be alive.
      Believe it or not, it was the 80's!

    We had very little but didn't know it. Grew a large garden and preserved our food. Hunted deer for meat. Made our own clothes and repaired them.

I am so grateful that I grew up without technology and I am very aware of how it has become a mind control tool used to separate people from their organic true nature. Also I have hope as there are many people reconnecting to nature and themselves in these times too!

    I also grew up without the cell phone, the internet and computers, we did not even have a house phone and were limited to a black and white tv that only had 2 viewing channels available. I've always known our current way of life is wrong and even at the age of about 5 I wanted to learn the arts of spinning and weaving amongst many other traditional things. I felt that we needed to preserve these arts for the future. Quite profound for a 6 year old child.

My childhood was spent playing in the bush and boating and swimming. I was always outside. Now in my late60s, I still spend a lot of time cycling in the forest. I am content.

    Hope people will realize what life really is, apart from watching from screens.
    Practice Walking in nature, or simply gazing at a nearby tree, finding joy in little things, and errands.
    The constant tracking by apps, notifications, messages, and emails. People cannot escape these in this modern era.....But only we can appreciate life every day at least partly and not forget it and move forward.

      As a Canadian, just 2 years older, I have to say the same thing. I have this ear worm, it's Tom Cochrane, and the last verse ... in the great rush to capitalism and consumerism, we've forgotten our identity. "Do right to others like you do to yourself in the big league" of life. xo
      You never can tell what might come down
      You never can tell when you might check out
      You just don't know, no, you never can tell
      So do right to others like you do to yourself
      In the big league

Yall did absolutely nothing to preserve freedoms for future generations, yall actually did everything possible to sell off and shackle up any and every thing you could, truly shutting the door behind you forever. All for infinite profits.
      You took the most prosperous nation the world has ever seen, and turned it into the most indebted in recorded human history....
      So think about that before lecturing us on "wisdom". You may have had wisdom, but you didnt apply it. You thought of yourselves and yourselves only.

    This was the lifestyle for thousands of years in medieval France and Gaul beforehand.

I feel i am the last generation (first half of millennials) to remember how it felt to have freedom in the outside world. But yes i do agree being outdoors in nature is the best thing for everyone. The more the better. I hate modern society and i wish it was easy to shift my family's life off grid but they make it almost impossible by design... keep spreading the wisdom Bjørn!
