Thanks for making this point Richard. A few months back, my broadband at home suddenly went off. Immediate reaction was panic, frustration, anger... As anyone who's ever needed to speak to a call centre in India - its not the best experience and waiting for an engineer to call that never comes...but hearing from the owner of a local cafe that the exchange box had been hit by a car and demolished - quite overwhelmed at first with fears of isolation and being cut off from the world . But then since I had no control, something in me calmed and all I could do was accept that I had no internet at home except for hotspot on my phone. So I decided to go with it and settled into a new way of being.... peacefully without screens. This zen-like existence lasted for 10 days.....and so much was restored in this time - music, a good book and plenty of fresh air literally replaced much of the time spent on KZitem and Netflix and wow...did it feel like a cool shower on a hot day for a mind permanently tuned into the media..

Just a 2 hour power cut last night with a flat phone and no WiFi illustrated how cyber things just 'stop'. We were perfectly OK with our torches and books. We spent many years in South Africa coping with 12 hour load shedding (power saving cuts). You soon learn how to prioritise your outage time and actually embrace the stillness it brings with it. We don't recommend it but it teaches you how to carry on life without it and use alternative means. At 71 and 67 we reverted back to the old days of making do. But imagine how some would be completely lost if it became a regular or permanent 'punishment'.

The arcade games were great, wooden cabinets, each different from another, with actual cathode ray tubes with glowing colors, and a real joystick with heavy duty buttons, sometimes vandalised but if serviced and maintained properly a wonder to stand and play at.

I still prefer to write a letter over an email but the latter is useful too! I was very late to the table having a mobile phone, bank account and understanding the basics of a computer. I have happily lived without tv at different times in my life, as I do now. It always would send me to sleep. I grew up on small holdings/farm. As a child I couldn't stand rainy days because I wouldn't be able to go out to play. As one of your listeners quoted, NET and WEB. Words that are very telling indeed. It has us all caught but it takes a strong mind to not let it take you over completely. I feel for the younger generations in this respect.

When we were taught typing at school we used some sort of erasing paper (not sure of the correct name). If you were using more than one sheet at a time with carbon paper in-between, it was a real faff to get it all lined up in the typewriter to correct mistake and then again putting carbon paper back in. They have it easy these days but with auto correct many people can't spell.

So true Richard. I remember no Internet and no mobile phones. I always say we are more connected to information now than ever yet we are more impatient, less intelligent and totally disconnected from ourselves 😢 I have friends who use AI to write for them because its easier and they don't have to spell check. We're losing our very essence. If we aren't careful we will allow the machines to control every aspect of our lives! I love the access to info and likeminded souls all over the world but I also love simplicity of learning new things myself and spending time in nature. We need a balance right now.

The 80s and 90s were so free now I look back. But back then, people talked about how free people were in the past. Imagine a point in the future where we look back on these times and remember how free we were in comparison. 🤔😧

I left school in 1969, started apprenticeship in engineering, just when imperial to metric measurements were changing, so by default I can work with either system. Then the money went decimal. That was a lot to take in short order. Yes sometimes a leap forward is not all that it seems

This 60 years old girl is greatly "prepped" as my young cousin had to explain me!😂😂 A few years ago l bought the good old Nokia 3310 the real authentic one!) But l also have some of my 90's mobile phones🙏🏼 I collect seeds all tbrough Europe from curing and eateble ~so called~ weeds. My garden is full of these wild plants, feeding the bees, butterflies and bumble bees and all other important bugs. And so the birds! I can cook on the sunrays (getting a bit complicated nowadays...🙄🙄) I have walkie talkies with me. Rechargeble batteries through my mobile solarpanels. I have a zerowater kan that takes all the shit out of my 'drinking' water. I have a TDS meter to see how 'healthy my 'drinking' water is. (Best water uptill now: high in the Pyrenees!) I bought myself the Great Survivalbook. Aswell as books about curing "weeds" and building a healthy home with hardly leaving a "footprint" on our stunning planet. I'm sticking to my good ol' Swedish made quality car! (But l would rather ride a horse, but know to little about how to buy myself a healthy horse😕) And l'm teaching kids, farmers or other people interested in what plants will help you if you have a problem. Smoking weeds so now and than. Drinking weeds, washing all my vegetables/weeds/fruits with baking soda to clean off all chemtrails and pesticides (although of course they get into the plants through their roots😭) I sit in the sun as much as possible. Protecting my skin with olive oil! (I ask people who use sunscreen stuff if they would eat it too...? "No... of course not!" Why not? "Because it taste dirty" "it is full of..." than l ask them why they rub it on their biggest organ??) I ground myself every day to give the overdosis of energy coming from the huge solarstorms back to Mother Gaia. And as soon if something catches my attention l'll order a book (or books)😮 about it. I always kept my sewing machine.... I'm a good welder. I can cook delicous meals so l must conclude that living life to the fullest taught me very important lessons l think l will need badly one of these days! So greatful to have always exactly followed my heart, even when it taught me hard lessons! LIFE IS GREAT IF YOU DARE TO LIVE IT❤❤❤❤

I used to write to my grandparents and when I stayed with them we wrote to my parents, even made cartoons for my brother. We spoke once a week on the phone, they went next door to use the midwife's phone (she was lovely) and we went down to the parade of shops - press button A or B! I still prefer writing to talking.

I find the safest most reliable method for getting the truth is by seeking out the actual source. It can easily be refined by filtering out those known sources who have proven themselves to be liars despite their official positions. Also, the size of that source has repeatedly proven to be inversely proportional to delivering actual trustworthy information. They have truly burned their bridges.

What has worried me is the amount of public libraries that have closed.. Books and manuscripts are the only real record of facts, history, theories and knowledge.. With More & more official narratives, propaganda and fake news & more censorship, we need to be able to check things out, but that's going to get harder to do... Although my eyesight is not what it was (I'm 70) I now choose hard copy over everything else..the words won't change overnight 👌.. I've also invested in some hand tools (no power except muscle required).. Drills, saws etc..😀 Great video Richard! 💚🌳🌻🦋🦉🐕🧙♂️🙏

Life without the internet was the time when there were no cash machines, the shops were shut on Sunday’s, as were the pubs and even when they were open they’d close in the afternoon. Life before the internet was cold and ice would form on the inside of the windows, when it felt good to shovel coal and light the fire just for the relief of warming up. Life before the internet was when TV would stop broadcasting in the afternoons and shut down at 11:30pm. Life before the internet was being shouted at for wasting electricity and keeping candles in a drawer. Life before the internet was when families would bicker and fight and do horrible things to each other. Life before the internet was wearing stupid home knit jumpers and second hand shoes. Life before the internet was eating cheap food and lots of potatoes and a Vesta meal was a treat. Life before the internet was being crammed into a small caravan whilst it rained all the time, being hit and told to stop sulking because it was a holiday. Life before the internet was miserable and boring , was as grey as the photo’s with nothing to do or to look forward to. Anyone who thinks it was nice, enjoyable and stress free is a feckin idiot.

There were cash machines; certainly since the early 1970's. But all the shops shut about 5.30 so if you worked normal hours it was very difficult to get food unless you did a weekly shop on Saturday.

A well known former German war correspondent made this point years ago. How he would phone home from the Vietnam war. He said, yes, we could phone in the story instantly, or send a story by telex. BUT: it would take days to send photos or film. And those days gave editors at home to fact check the story; to verify details; or simply to assess the relevance of some event. Sure: it means potentially inconvenient stories could be buried; but it also meant we weren't bombarded with TMI and nothingburger.

If only we could return to some of the life before internet. To embrace even some of our communication skills , CB radio should not be dismissed. They were good days at the time, Socially and communally. Lots of contacts were forged back then. It is so devastating that we personally do not have anyone in our area that we can now communicate with. Everyone is "gone" if you know what I mean

What is coming is terrifying, and still, people continue going about their lives in the traditional manner. There's no sense of urgency in connection with the existential threat that is about to fall upon us. Instead of fleeing, the population is more concerned about servicing a mortgage (death grip) than preserving their lives. There has never been a more important period in man's history, and yet they refuse to heed the Biblical warnings about the age in which we are now living. I can't understand the mental processes of the general population and how they sit there in cramped towns and cities waiting to be slaughtered by the monsters under Satan's command. Surely, it makes sense to abandon the position of slave and disperse into the rural areas instead of being like fish in a barrel. Please try to wake up and save yourselves before the option is taken away. You haven't much time in which to make a move and my generation is old and tired now, therefore we can't help you anymore. We have carried you all of our lives, and now we're worn out.

@flyingfishnet We have been telling you for two hundred years plus, but you would not listen. We disciples knocked on your door to tell you the good news of the Kingdom, but you would not listen. We offered you a free Bible study in order that you might preserve your own life, but you told us that it is all fantasy. Now the majority haven't a clue as to what is going on, it's all because you would not listen. You must seek out your heavenly Father, you must learn His personal name and you must use that name in prayer. Only the Father can preserve your life, and no human can do that.

@@johngrant5448 well thank you for making things a little clearer. I’m convinced we are in end times (very close) but not because of what I’ve learned from the bible. But I’ve got issues with the way you are putting your message out. Firstly. 2/3 of the world don’t have the bible within their culture. Secondly. living one’s life is not necessarily about saving it for this earth, as you should fully understand. Thirdly. If you imagine you will escape because you live in the countryside you’re in for a disappointment. Fourthly. It’s because people (for the moment) live in mega cities there is still some countryside left. Fifthly. Your generation (and mine i presume) has not carried anyone from the younger ranks. We were born in a time of comparative plenty and genuine opportunity. Lastly. It’s under our watch we fell asleep. We were blinded by the American dream (you have to be asleep to believe it) and turned our backs on creation, and allowed the miraculous web of life that allows life to be destroyed. Don’t give yourself too many points.
