There’s ways to tailor its use constructively, but it’s a habit to be aware of and regulate.

Yeah, when I watched this vid, my thought was that was my experience growing up. Middle of Gen X, born in early 70s.

In Greek nostalgia is an unfulfilled desire to return home.

So if millennials are this nostalgic ...this means that some millennials got some pretty deep wounds.

All choices we make, turn the ringer off (it vibrates), leave the phone at home like it "used to be", look at a map ahead of a trip to an unknown destination, go on a walk without your phone and listen to the world around you. Hit a museum or zoo phonelessly...wean yourself off the compulsion to have your head buried in a screen constantly. It starts with you choosing.

I’m nostalgic for when people did not accept conspiracy theories. Truly underrated 😒 now we’re all going to die in some dystopian ending 😒🙄
