This is a great video. I was thinking this myself a couple of weeks ago after I received my latest Amazon delivery.

I have just about everything I need , but it does feel empty. I think the connection of sharing plays into it. When you would go with a friend or loved one out, its the memory of time spent together, not so much the object.That just ties it together when you look at the item.You remember and recall the moment. Convenience is helpful if transportation is an issue, but it makes the loneliness loud too.

I gave up sm a while back and only recently came back,.I'd be fine without the technology part of life. I did fine through covid since most of the time I am alone.

I'm sure if everything disappeared, there would be some discomfort, but I grew up before all this stuff, so I would do ok. I'm sure many wouldn'tknow what to do.

I love your thoughts on the memories of shopping with someone, so true. The Amazon ‘click and deliver’ experience really doesn’t leave any emotional imprint.

It's great to have the service of home delivery if you lack transportation.Or weather conditions are so great it isn't possible or dangerous to drive.

But we really do associate an experience with many things we own. Its not like” Oh there my thing I got from home delivery .Its “I remember being with, or at “xyz” or a certain place.

You presented a thoughtful look at what were missing out on in our true, deeper self. What strengthens us is not the easy.

We rob ourselves of grit through tough times.I wonder what's going to happen in a long term power failure and our susceptibility towards the rest of the world also.

Are we prepared? Do we have what it takes without technology?

As I said, since I was raised before the internet and instant gratification, I believe I'll be alright.

today's kids have no idea.

Most would be frantic.

What made you look at this subject?

I appreciate the challenge of thoughts.
