Simpler Times

Do you remember life before the internet?

Before the internet, there was the World Book Encyclopedias. There were libraries with research books. Information was not readily available. Now its at your finger tips.

But with the good things come the not-so-good things. The isolation. The lack of communication between family members. The neck thing. This is most obvious with the use of phones. Heads are bent. Possibly in 30 years, people won’t be able to hold their heads up.

Also, bullying has gone to a whole new level. Children are subjected to this and it goes global instead of just local.

The surge in pornography and problems that brings to households.

And viewing horrendous things such as beheadings. What does that do to our society as a whole?

So I remember life definitely before the internet. It was simpler. We weren’t barraged with unwanted information. News was once or twice a day. It wasn’t a constant source of misinformation.

Sometimes I wish it would all go away and we could go back to those simpler times!

In 2015, I retired and my goal was to do as much traveling as I possibly could. I started the blog for our first month long trip to Panama in October 2015. My sister Linda and her husband Stan joined Bruce and I on our first trip and we decided together on the name the four amigos. Since then, we don’t always travel with them, sometimes just Bruce and I, sometimes other people, whoever wants to join us on our crazy journeys. The name stuck and I grew an affinity to it. So here we are. I invite you to join thefouramigos blog on our next destination.
