Fellow GenXer here; life was great in the 70s & 80s (of course never appreciated it at the time); now I'm taking small steps to live how we once did - starting with no social media, more reading (books, not scrolling), more outdoors & getting away from the phone! (except for watching vids like this!) It's amazing how much one can do not being distracted by social media; if only more ppl could do this - social media, posting selfies etc gets you nowhere! (I understand many will disagree)- thanks for this vid

@Diego-Designs 28 дней назад

I'm a Gen-xer also and you are absolutely right! It's funny seeing people's faces when I tell them I don't have Facebook, or Tiktok, or whatever else is out there. I rather be present and enjoy the life that's in front of my face.

@johnhernandez284 27 дней назад

I don't think technology is the issue, it depends on how you use it. Most lack discipline with social media but it can be used to learn things faster and be used to stay in touch with ppl that are far away. That's why I try to maintain my browsing to things that can better develop my skills and useful hobbies

@sillysoma7824 27 дней назад

@@johnhernandez284 Absolutely agree with you there re. tech & family connections (although one can connect long distance without FB) & great for businesses too (and many businesses have a formal website), but I'm referring to those not as sensible as yourself, who can't moderate, whose life is consumed by it, those with MH issues caused by it, youths who are so addicted to it such that it's impacting their education and robbing them of a life, and those who rely solely on it for info rather than traditional means. There was life before SM and we seemed to cope just fine, but yes, I do agree with you :-)

@KoniB. Месяц назад

72 yrs on this earth that none own. I ran with all my brothers, we did not know that we were poor, no one told us. Not parents, neighbors, nor family. We all were at the same level, I guess. I learned to can, pluck and dip chickens and turkeys, helped wrap the venison and elk. We had water turns for the fields. We filled the coal bucket. We had chores that were done, or suffer the consequences. Harsh, but others were counting on us. I know it was better. I know. It was the best of times for us all.

@ananda_miaoyin 29 дней назад

Our day to flood the fields was on Tuesday. We would stand in the canal and peel off the 2x4's one by one to let the water in. Used the spillway as a water slide. We were 12 years old (I have a twin brother) We rode our horses to that spot. What a time to be alive. Believe it or not, it was the 80's! You have seen much more than me at 47 but damn, brother. I feel you.

We had very little but didn't know it. Grew a large garden and preserved our food. Hunted deer for meat. Made our own clothes and repaired them.

People are looking back on that time while wearing rose-colored glasses. Problems still existed back then just as they do now, and you can argue it was a lot worse than how it is now in some aspects. There will ALWAYS be some kind of problem in life. The internet and social media are just an evolution to the problems that people faced back then.

Wise words Bjorn. I think that we have seen that many people do not actually want freedom and are happy to go along with whatever programs are fed to them. I am so grateful that I grew up without technology and I am very aware of how it has become a mind control tool used to separate people from their organic true nature. Also I have hope as there are many people reconnecting to nature and themselves in these times too!

@Culinarynerd38689 29 дней назад

Hope people will realize what life really is, apart from watching from screens. Practice Walking in nature, or simply gazing at a nearby tree, finding joy in little things, and errands. The constant tracking by apps, notifications, messages, and emails. People cannot escape these in this modern era.....But only we can appreciate life every day at least partly and not forget it and move forward.

All for infinite profits. You took the most prosperous nation the world has ever seen, and turned it into the most indebted in recorded human history....

I've always known our current way of life is wrong and even at the age of about 5 I wanted to learn the arts of spinning and weaving amongst many other traditional things. I felt that we needed to preserve these arts for the future. Quite profound for a 6 year old child.

I was born in Barcelona. Since my eighteen I decided live outside the grid. Now 62 years old I'm very happy to live between the trees and the fields. Many young people is doing the same because they visit time to time. We are free to choose it Hugs and Skål Thank you I enjoy your thoughts.

Hi everyone, respect from Lithuania,į think we go backward,then we were in Russian empire,in 19th century books in Lithuanian language was proh ibited and we had some special smugglers called "Knygnešiai",(bookcarriers)which means they smuggled books writen įn Lithuanian language,under threat going to jail for that,it looks we got something likę that coming worldwide.

I'm 67 now but used to hike in the mountains of Colorado and Utah in the '60's and '70's enjoying nature. I even came within 10' of a badger once and knew better than to try to approach and pet it like a dog. Today people would try to feed and pet it!

@KayPierce-qi9ov 29 дней назад

I lived in the country, a badger lived under my shed. I would throw slices of bread to him. He would grab it, and scurry backwards back under the shed. a beautiful creature for sure - a blessing to see.

People are even stupid with dogs now. They expect kids to be able to annoy and torment the family dog and it not be allowed to snap in warning back at the child. When I was young if the dog growled in warning you respected that.

@deadreckoning6288 23 дня назад

One sees this kind of stupidity in national parks. Idiots trying to get a selfie standing next to a bear or bison or pet it like their in a damn zoo. Darwin award. And then if something happens they kill the animal. I have zero sympathy for such idiots.

I'm French and the happiest I am is when I go hiking in the French forests and mountains. This was the lifestyle for thousands of years in medieval France and Gaul beforehand. We lived in smaller villages and spent our lives crafting and hunting. I think the modern lifestyle is anti-human. It brings lots of comfort, but also mental degradation.

Those that are in power are great at figuring out ways to addict people to harmful things and then profiting from it. Be it security, comfort, pleasure or intertainment.

@yodawunn6700 28 дней назад

One's definition of freedom matters. Many today think that freedom is the ability to have power over other's opinions and life. The freedom you speak of is the only kind that matters.

@bazookaclass 28 дней назад

There is a place not too far away from where I live, where it looks like im suddenly in modern day China or Germany 1944. Its sad, because I remember a time when life was bliss and you didn't have to worry about some smartphone listening in on your conversation. Freedom dies the second you stop fighting for it. After all, "surviving isn't living". Lenge leve Norge og frihet!

@kurtsteiner8384 Месяц назад

I agree bjorn. I was born in 1950s, we had not computors , mobile phone/ smart phone. Tvs many did not even have home phone or house tv they used the one down the street if occupied you had to wait until theyd finished or use neighbours if they had one. It was a slower pace of life much better than now. Do we have a government i dont think so. Susposed to reperesnt us not any mkre it seams. In 1776 in usa they said no taxation without representation . Seams we are going in reverse and not learning from mistakes of history more the pitty.

Spending time in nature cleanses the soul.

@kladdfia 29 дней назад

You´re so right. Everytime I spend time in nature I feel more relaxed and less worried. The problem is that I get stuck in my head when I´m at home, everything feels hard and heavy, I usually end up watching something on youtube or even worse, facebook and the hours go by.. and I really hate that! When I watch videos like yours I get an urge to just sell all my stuff and go live in the woods.

I'm looking for a way out of the madness, the future frightens me. But just like you, I'm also hopeful that the younger generation will make a positive turn. I love watching your videos, you radiate such calmness❤ thank you

LOVE that spot. It’s beautiful. I grew up without smart phones or internet and the world will be better off without it 👍 I live in the woods as far in as I can, tend my gardens etc I do have a iPhone. Keep in contact with my kids, it’s just me and my husky here and should I need 911- it’s useful … texting the kids regularly but it’s only data. I can’t get internet in here where I’m at. I never carried my phone with me but do now in town since they took away the LAST pay phone 😡. And this scan BS. Like 🙄 not everyone HAS a cellPhone … the more you work the more you pay out. You buy things that you don’t need BECAUSE you think somethings missing 🤷‍♀️

We're not quite the last generation to grow up without these things, the oldest millennials actually reserve that title. We're certainly close at the later end of Gen X though.
