So I'm at work and all the guys are talking about how different life is now for kids as opposed to when we were kids... and it got me thinking. And I brought up my road experience, thumbing across country attempt and I realized as I was talking that, back in those days, for me, it was a time of absolute freedom, a time before Facebook, cell phones, internet, email, GPS-- back then, you were on your own, you were not a slave to devices, you just moved along, you were alone, and you had no connection to family or friends but for a payphone or letter or postcard, but you were free. Today's kids will never understand that. In this computer social media age they will never know what its like to cross the country alone, go to the beach alone, hike a mountain alone-- and by alone I mean not by yourself but without some form of Wi-fi connection to others. They will never know what its like to wake up and think about life, interpret it and live it alone, happy, sad or indifferent. Anyway I'm buzzed and will fix this tomorrow haha they will always be tied to something
