been thinking about all the little moments tucked away in my memories that are a world unknowable to those younger than me, so consider this an opportunity to reminisce over old times, but also to ask those about the times you did not live through.
I guess my question for those older than me is: before computers, how did you learn to do something?
Did access to knowledge change your life, was a constraint lifted when you no longer depended on having found the right books or people to learn tips on how to cook a new dish, or how to fix a plumbing problem, or how to plant a garden?
Was life more simple, did you have fewer problems to solve without technology in your life, or did technology make life easier?
As others said, tv, books and people. I learned from the newspaper too. They have a section where they talk about misc things other than news, like car, recipe, newest trends etc.
For people, there is quite a lot of misinformation, because they can’t fact check easily.
For tv, they ll have informative things sometimes, like national geographic, random documentary, random recipe etc. they ll have the schedule on the newspaper and we sit in front of tv to wait for the show. It is quite exciting. And weekends morning we ll have cartoon on tv too. It makes us wake up early.
I also like going to the local library to find books I am interested in. Because the books are limited, you can focus easier without information overload.
With the internet, knowledge is so easily available now, and causing information and sensory overload. It is a blessing and curse.
It is convenient. Too convinent.
We don’t appreciate or feel excited anymore on new information or new things, the negative news bombarded us everyday, younger people brainwashed by social media. We over consume and things are lower quality now.
ignorance is bliss.
