Well replying to the next blog. I truly feel that yeah, technology is being taken for granted way too much now. It's awesome, this guy has the guts to say what's wrong with society right now. In fact I can relate with this. Yesterday I was playing online on this game called Resistance 2 and my connection disconnected. After 2 seconds I start freaking out as I knew I was going to get first place because my teammates were doing horribly. Out of nowhere, a voice in my head starts saying "Well at least you have this kind of stuff!... It doesn't grow on trrrreeeesss, does it?!" This guy is like George Carlin minus the negativity.
Honestly, I would love to see what it was like during the 1900's when doing things were hard, but living becomes easier. Life was rough in those times I know, but I'd love to live a life with challenges rather than a life in which someone is always looking after you all the time. Why is a simple life like this so hard to follow?!

I guess a simple life is so hard to follow because it's no longer the norm, and because no one else leads a simple life. We need to follow the ways of the world in order to survive in it, so the only way simpler lives could ever happen is if everyone completely shuts down technology as a whole.
...Not happening anytime soon, I imagine.
And yes, this guy is awesome.
Living in the 1900's for us will be very difficult. Since we are so use to having technology do everything for us now, the so called simple life would be a harder life. I do think that the 1900's would be a better time to live in only because we would not be so lazy! I do think if we were to go back in time right now we would be quite disappointed on how long everything would take. We would be constantly be yelling to ourselves "In the 21st century we did things much faster!". Another reason why we would not be able to survive in the 1990's is because we as a society would need to be mentally, and physically, stronger.
I see what you did there!
