In 50 years, there will be technology that people will be shocked that we lived without. Change is inevitable.

It makes life more convenient at times, but definitely doesn't make us better people.

I tell my kids how when I was a teen going to HFStival or some other big concert you would have to make a game plan for time and meeting location when you were leaving. If the meet up was 10 and you were late you had to figure your own ride home. No cells to to follow location on snapchat. They think it sounds dystopian.

lol it sounds pretty foreign even to myself now, no GPS to get there, hell even before the days of Mapquest, and no texting to ask hey where are you. Yet somehow we all managed.

It would be wild to take a peak at life let's say 200 years from now. Think about how quickly we've gone from riding horses and living by candlelight to electric cars and everyone walking around with a computer in their pocket. Pretty sure in the future we'll be living in a simulated world, if we aren't already.

I remember being at a show not being able to find my friends and going up to groups of kids my age asking if they were headed to Maryland or Virginia. If they were headed in right direction I'd bum a ride. It was always nerve racking when it was getting late and the crowds were thinning and I still didn't have a ride. Some of the best stories in my teen early twenty years involved these adventures.

You would never tell your parents you were left behind because you were late because that was all on you. Now parents would be made that their kid was left behind if they were late getting to the meet up.

I remember the 1st time I got a text message. I was in class at junior college. I didn't even know what a text message was. And I didn't know they cost 10 cents each either. That didn't go over well with my dad.

My grandson sitting behind me in my car asked what this thing was I had behind the seat, I looked and started to laugh. I told him it was the very first GPS, ...it was a Road Atlas.

Having a fever while simultaneously being freezing cold. Complete mind-fuck.

Nicking yourself shaving, then having to bleed for approximately 2 hours.

Piece of shit, trash ass, loser motherfuckers, that throw their cigarette butts out of the car window.

Few things scream I'm a complete loser that contributes nothing to society, more than that.

Have some fucking decency.
