What could be better in the morning?

Breffast, happy dog, music.

...well, if it were 1:30pm, that would be better.

Thinking about how millennials are less likely to know how to do certain things - how to drive, how to sew etc.

I would usually blame planned obsolescence for this kind of thing, how objects aren't built to last and be repairable.

However, consumers do also play a role. We will choose convenience whenever we can. But that convenience ends up becoming a dependence.

It's a Faustian trap. We pay a price for that convenience, in losing Important skills and knowledge.

And like with all debts, that debt grows interest over time. The longer you go without those skills and knowledge, the harder it becomes to pick up those skills later on.

Millennials were born into an age of convenience. We failed to learn skills that previous generations learned growing up, because we never had to. In many cases, we won't even know what those skills are or were.

Is it possible to break out of this dependence upon advanced technology that we have become accustomed to? Or is it out of our control?

Is the deficit in knowledge and skills now an insurmountable level of debt that will continue to grow exponentially every generation?

I really don’t like mornings, but especially when I didn’t get to bed until 4:15 because I was working on edits, and I had to be up at 8:15 to leave at 9:15 to make a 10:30 appointment. 😣 but it’s the soonest MRI appointment I could get for my knee. So I wore this shirt. #AuthorLife #ChondromalaciaPatellae #MedicalAppointment #IHateMornings
