Do You Remember When?

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty 26441

Do you remember when?  When life was simpler yet things were harder?  Back in the hay day life seemed so much calmer, so much simpler we would hang out after work in the front yard with the neighbors just talking.  There was community among people, you could go to your neighbor, borrow a cup of sugar or have a cup of tea.

Life now is supposed to be so easy, there are computers, fax machines, cell phones, docusign.   All these things are supposed to make things easy, simpler faster better.  But do they, life does not seem simpler, Life does not seem easier.  It is certainly faster.  It seems like the days get shorter, there is never any time for anything.  How does this happen.  It seems like I go to bed later and get up earlier every day.  And I still get nothing done.  How is that?  Do you remember when we did not have cell phone? Do you remember when you would be showing property and have to stop by a "pay phone" and call the office to have them look thru the book for a lasting.

I am not sure which is better, certain things are better now with the technology.  But certain things are not easier, I hate being out with my family and having my purse ring.  There was something to be said for leaving the house and not hearing from anyone.  What do you think is or was better?

Kelly, I guess it does not matter the time period. To most people the present it hectic until you look back. But then you think of the advantages of today and it doesn't look too bad.

I always thought technology would save us time, but now with all the new stuff, it does take alot of time just to get up-to-speed.    I like it, but you are right, just takes alot more time!

There are those days that I have forgotten my phone and I do have to say I really do enjoy those few hours without it.

I think there are some things that are better now and some things before.  I get more done but am more harried.
