Life is so crazy.

I'm in my early thirties now & remember when the Internet was at its peak (nineties, early 2000s). Websites felt innovative and fun. It was a place: "the internet" was usually only accessible via a desktop computer, and you had to share it with your family, but after awhile you lost interest and went to go do other stuff anyways.

That changed... quickly. Now everything's ads and advertisements and people are just kind of, over it? I guess I'm surprised because I feel like this took no time at all. Like, at first it was cool, then it was awful, and now it's through. Just like that. There's bots everywhere and so much fake everything. People simply aren't interested, or invested anymore.

So I guess I feel what it's like now: to have lived in an 'era' that is so different from the one in which you grew up. I know it happens to everybody, but Tristan Harris, who is a tech giant and the creator of 'The Social Dilemma' a documentary on social media on Netflix, said the following:

"Processing power has gone up about a trillion times since the 1960s. Nothing else we have has gone up a trillion times. Our physical strength has not gone up a trillion times. Our brains have not gone up a trillion times. Our biology has not changed in that time."

So I mean I guess we'll just start seeing insane progressions in technology but a regression in actual living? I'm just talking in regards of life quality and shaping how we feel and overwhelming us. It's incredible. I am so inspired to commit to my hobbies and realize that this information doesn't really attribute much to the actual way that I live and trust my life.
