“It’s almost like our unconsciousness is a kind of failure”

You know I’m all about applying perspective as much as possible when living our daily lives. It’s also one of the topics we frequently discuss with our kids – 10, 16 and 18yo. One of the questions we entertained ourselves with over NYE was about how the world looked / worked before the internet. When googling for examples we stumbled upon a very interesting article I’d like to share with you.

The following quote is what especially caught my attention:

“When you wake up, you have this gift of a blank brain. You could fill it with anything. But for most of us, we have this kind of panic.

Instead of wondering what should I do, we wonder what did I miss. It’s almost like our unconsciousness is a kind of failure and we can’t believe we’ve been offline for eight hours…”

I encourage you to read the rest of the article: What it feels like to be the last generation to remember life before the internet.
