The more crap you have the more crap you end up depending on and stressing over. Think about it for some of us on here cell phones were not even an issue and we didnt complain about not having one. Now you practically hold onto that thing like a kid with a security blanket. A fully loaded brand new car back in the day is what is included in a standard brand new vehicle today and then some (just imagine how affordable a brand new car could still be without all that crap). Ipad, laptop, wireless internet, just having internet....dependant on crap like its oxygen! but the world survived without it before yet we cling to it like we couldnt get on without it!

Yet, when we go on vacation the first thing you talk about doing is leaving all that ******** at home...........exceot for the phone of course so you can instantly share pictures.......you never see people bringing home an envelope of pictures with that excitement of wondering how the pictures came out after being developed anymore...you dont get see the "bad" pctures with that wierd face you made that later down the road you would laugh at because you instantly deleted it...

Can you name where 5 payphones are? do you know what ones is?

google an address or phone number? casn you read a map? do you have a phone book?

if all cell phones mysteriously disspeared or were remotely erased.....what is your friends phone number?

caller id???? The days where you could ignore no one

the list goes on.......

the more you have the more you forget to appreciate....

i totally get the concept of a minimalistic lifestyle......
