That’s why I love old cars that don’t have any computer chips in them. In my humble opinion the world was a much simpler and better place before cell phones and the internet. Kids actually went outside and did stuff like climb a tree. And with no social media, mental health issues were way less and mass shootings were few and far between. Sometimes change is not a good thing.
