Got anything good?

Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

All right, so there's a video that's going viral at the moment, and I wouldn't normally talk about some of this, but it is so interesting.

And I've shown to a few friends of mine, I've watched it quite a few times.

And actually, it makes me a bit sad, but it also makes me happy that I grew up in a different time, the 80s and the 90s.

So it's a video what I'm about to play, and it's young kids,

as if they were in the 90s, finding out about life now for their counterparts, kids growing up

in these times with mobile phones glued to their hands. Like us as well. I'm not judging,

like us as well, but have a listen to this.

Wait, so you're telling me in the future, people just stare at a little box all day inside and outside.

And in the future, you don't even own the music. You just pay every month to borrow it.

Like, if you stop paying, the music just disappears.

So in the future, everyone has their own phone, and they use it to type messages instead

of call?

And if someone calls you without typing it first, it's considered rude?

Our moms always say don't talk to strangers.

But in the future, everyone just talks to strangers all day on the little box and shows them

their house. and their kids

in the future everyone's connected to everything and people are still lonely it's really sad but

there is an epidemic of loneliness actually made me cry when I first watched it was like god this

not really sad about what we're doing now to our kids and ourselves has grown up as well. You know, we're just as bad as the kids we say, get off your phones. But anyway, I was thinking about, I feel blessed actually to have grown up in the 80s and 90s, where actually Boredom was my best friend because through Bordham was a great motivator to use your imagination or to reach out and just go and see friends.
