Are you thinking of Going Back?

Oh don't worry, you can always remember the past and enjoy the happiness or the pain it brings. It is part of being human. And do not stress yourself with the present. Just enjoy it as well. And the again, enjoy thinking whatever future may bring. That way, you can have a smile on your face each day. Bwa ha ha ha!

As humans we can adapt to everything and anything. I wouldn't mind living without all that spoil and makes us lazy. TATA.

I don't think people Have to use Every new gadget. But I wouldn't go back either. Without being online I would be totally alone.

I wonder how you managed a day of LOW tech. Hehehe, anyways I always do this if I have the chance. It's always good to walk away from fast phase life to a simplier one.

Once, I watched a TV program where a family was chosen and given a chance to live in a make over house which had all the facility of year 1800ish. They had to wear the trend-in clothes of the time and did everything just as the 1800ish people did back then, for a whole month. I hoped to be able to participate in the program, cause I really wanted to experience how people live and survive in the old days. Alas, I live in a different country than where the TV program is made. I know we have to keep up with the day to day progress in our life now, but it would not hurt to be able to experience the old days. We will appreciate more what we achieved if we understand how was it before.

if most people before had lived their lives without technology, then why can't we? besides most of the technology today are not really required for you to live... I grew in a simple farm life and would love to live forever like that. like climbing trees, playing at the irrigation, playing guitar under the shade of the trees... very peaceful! plus, you don't waste electricity for that matter! Simple life is the best!

Actually I sort-of have gone back. I used to go online to chat all the time, but I never really did anything productive online. I wasted a lot of time hanging out in chat rooms...time I could have been using for other more productive things in life. However, I don't really do this anymore. I only come online now to do things like mylot, or to research other things I am interested in. I do have a cell phone, but I really only keep it because I no longer have a land line in my house, and because I can call my family in another state for free thanks to the benefits of my cell plan. I don't really use email that much either. Most of my communication is done by phone calls, although I do use Facebook to communicate with friends back home occasionally. If I didn't live so far away from my family, I would prefer to not even have a phone. I would have no problem communicating by hand-written letters when I needed to do so. I think it would actually be cool to be alone on an island for a few month, as long as I didn't have to worry about things like food, water, and a place to sleep. I am sure I would miss my family, friends, and my dogs, but I think it would give me a while to think about things, and maybe give me some new perspectives on life. I grew up in the 1980's, so I remember the days when we didn't have things like cell phones and computers, and I think that life was a lot easier back then somehow...

hi I had life without my computer and monitor for almost 11 months and no it was not fun it was boring, televsion all day til I was sick of looking at it, I did not ever have a cellphone nor do I w ant one,but my computer and monitor are now part of me, and mylot is part of me, we must not go back I am 84 and I saw out houses and taking a bath in a tub and a chest for keeping blocks of ice. no fridges yet no electricity but oil lamps now that was not peaceful, that was not fun, electric lights and running water and real bathtubs that was fun, learn to appreciate the time you are in now. people worked hard to bring us these wonderful electronic things. why not use them? We have the power to uncomplex our lives if we will just do it, take time to write letters and mail them, talk to real people but s till have time to my lot.he he he.

I love to learn about the past. I think that while technology is a good thing, it's also something we maybe use too much of sometimes, and so should take some time out of our lives to just be, and not worry about the television, or internet, not even radio.

Thinking of going back could be a stupid act when we know that what has been done will remain a history. But appreciating how the way we live in the past and basically put them into actions is marvelously a beautiful thing to do. Out of our daily business that we don't have time for ourselves, we can choose to be away from what the present has to offer. It is stress relieving. I just realized though since I lost my cellphone last May. I am more at ease and got more time to rest. I decided not to buy a cp for myself to avoid one-text gig invitations and the like. Or when I decided to have one, I will surely give my number to those who respect my time for rest. Good morning!

New technology available to our generation supposedly should make our lives easier. But come to think of it, does it really make your life more comfortable? I still remember the time when I was still a college student. There were no cell phones, computers or cable TVs. In fact, I even grew in a household with no landline phone. But we had ways to communicate with each other. We had ways to make ourselves busy. We had ways to make our lives pleasurable. We are more stress free unlike now. Please don't get me wrong. I am not against technology. I am not against developments. It did change our lives for the better.... for most of us.

Erm... ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I would kill myself from bordem. Think of all the games, songs, movies, gadgets etc. that we love to use everyday. I understand what you mean by having a simpler life but seriously then you'd be moaning for something to do lol... And good morning to you too, but it's 00:35am in England right now :D

I will be alone that I don't have problem to any one .When any one have be alone to manage that we will be free of tension and worries of others and we will be having a wonderful life as there will be systematic and orderly management.I consider to be alone because I am not in any one controls and it is really hard to be in .we don't have free and open mind and we will be not planning by our self as we have to follow to depended person.It is risky to our self to lead proper life.

i not going back because it bored and if i don't have computer for 1 day i think go to heaven or hell. i think you just be like that for one day. maybe tomorrow you will think again.

Last night I was reading a letter from 1923, how is that for a blast to the past. I dont' think I would go back to paper letters, I like my e-mail and chat and so on. But I do wonder what my children will have to go back and look at. Actually, I am thinking about printing off my family blog and putting it into a book for them.
