I feel lucky now that I grew up and attended school before ChatGPT, before smartphones, before social media, before ubiquitious internet.

I can't say that I'm totally unaffected by contemporary technology, and my attention span seems to have suffered a little, but I think I'm mostly still intact. I read most days for pleasure and have started a book club. I deliberately take long walks without bringing my smartphone; it's a great feeling of freedom, almost like going back to a simpler time.
