Have you ever felt like you would have done better in a different time and/or age?
I bring this up because lately i've grown almost hatefull of social media! what is ment to be a tool to connect people is just making it harder for me to connect to actual people.
I was at a café not to long ago and looking to strike up a conversation, I had just finished a bike trek of 40km on my mountainbike and taking a breather and a drink, but all around me everyone was obsessed with their phones, and they never seem to be put down long enough for me to actually get through, I'd make some smalltalk about the weather, about what a nice little terras we're on (that takes actual effort for me by the way), and pling!!! facebook or whatsapp wants some attention. and you just sit there feeling stupid and after a minute orso even intrusive! So i move back to me seat with my drink and forget about it.
I don't get the world today, i'd like to have been a teenager in the 70's I think i would have fit in better, somehow it feels like things were easier back then without mobiles and internet.
How about you ?
