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

Remkus wrote on 2 January, 2017 Leave a Comment

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.
