I don’t participate in social media. I’m nearing 40, and I work in the tech industry. I’ve gotta say that when Hurricane Irma blew through Florida last year, the week we were without power was the most peaceful, calming period I’ve experienced in years. Sitting out on the porch in the shade was meditative, and not picking up my phone every 15 minutes was like going back to a simpler time.

My bet is that social media and the Internet have made our lives harder, not easier.

Neither do I.

Most phone numbers are blocked and caller ID usually gives a heads up on the rest of the scammers.

Life is good.
