I guess I am a dinosaur as well, so you’re not alone. We would be fools not to admit that technology has gotten us very far in civilization, and it continues to open doors and possibilities, but it is undeniable that we cannot let go entirely of the handy stuff that also allows us to be capable, like cooking, making some kind of work with our bodies, to make things with our hands.
Balance is the right word, and you used it, and we have to keep being in the pursuit of it, keep fighting these new addictions of the pleasure center by social media and others, the overstimulation that can get the younger generations sick if we do not do anything about it.
Sorry for the mumbling, your post really got to me, because I feel you.
¡Regards!
