Want to go back to a simpler time

Yes, I definitely would love to go back to a simpler time. I have been feeling a lot lately that feeling of too many things pressing and clamoring for my attention. I started recently a new venture, trying to garner interest in local history. It is the one thing that is keeping me sane. I read about the people and places of long ago and sometimes long to be there instead of here. I know that way back they didn't have running water or toilets. I don't know if I could get used to that or not. I just think that it would be great if we could put this electronic monster back in its box. I'm tired of running up against young hotshots that think they know everything. They don't....but they don't want to hear it. They prefer to remain plugged in to their devices which keep getting more and more sophisticated that the average person has a hard time keeping up.

I guess it's a sign of growing old when you just want everything to slow down. You long for the days when you felt secure enough to take a breather and look around you. In this too hectic world that doesn't seem possible. You are required to be superwoman to everyone....if you're not....oh well...sorry...you can't work. What????......I have a lot of talent and I'm learning more every day, but I'm not as quick as I once was or as young.

I want to go back to a time when everyone was appreciated for what they could do with their hands and their minds. Nowadays it just doesn't seem that anyone really cares what you can contribute. Instead they are looking for robots that will follow their company's line without question. Yes robots can do that...and they have pretty much replaced human contact at most major companies. It's funny when I listen to the TD Bank ads....and realize that I'm not alone in this feeling...that somehow with all the technology we lost the human touch. I don't know about you but I get so frustrated with automatic phone systems that I just want to reach in and grab the person who decided that this was a good thing. How many good people were replaced when those systems came into place?....100....1,000.....I don't know, but the more I work with these phone systems, the more frustrated I get.
