“To be honest, I wish I would have been able to be in the era before and kind of see what that was like,” he admitted. Noah, I was there, and it was awesome, but I don’t think we realised just how good we had it at the time! Looking back, life was so much simpler and less frantic, and people didn’t expect to have 24/7 access to one another. We could be silly, make mistakes and just be ourselves without worrying about someone filming it and posting it all over social media, and there was far less pressure to look, act or live a certain way. Bullying certainly existed back then too, but at least when you went home, you could generally escape it rather than having it follow you around on your phone 24 hours a day. ❤️That being said, technology and social media have brought some wonderful benefits, particularly the ability to connect with people from all over the world whom we might never otherwise have met. I’ve made some amazing friendships through social media, and it’s incredible how shared interests can bring complete strangers together. And don’t forget that without technology, there would be no Verticals. I just think we need to find a happy balance between enjoying everything technology has to offer and remembering to live in the moment, without feeling the need to document or share every second of our lives. ❤️

Hi Noah, first sorry about my horrible english. In the Intervew you say you’ve 2 perspectivs. This is one point, my father (my god rest his soul) said to me as l was a child. If you have a dispute with someone, before things escalate, put youself in your opponent’s shoes and honestly view the dispute from their perspective-only then should you talk about it. See his perspective and see yours, and propose a compromise. But if he don’t want a compromise, accept his perspective and go away. Maybe, it can be possibile you lost a “friend”, but was it a friend? Make your own thing for yourself and accept the consequences.
