The whole "roughing it" idea seems very appealing to me, as well. Maybe I am just tired of the technological society we live in.
Something big is bound to happen and that something big is going to affect us all, maybe it will be a bad thing for the people here and now but for who comes next it is a time for enlightenment, they will know that a world such as our own cannot work the way its intended too.

Maybe what I desire about the old way of life is the slower pace of living, and the closeness of the community.
Either way, I agree that people are expecting and wanting a much needed change.

Exactly my thoughts.
I wouldn't mind going back to the days of old when there was no such thing as TV, computer etc.
I think our modern way of living has been having a negative effect on the human being and society as a whole IMO.

Why? Because it makes life more "convenient?" When I look at today's society, I see a bunch of weak,sniffling individuals. Why? Well, technology is much to blame for it.
When was the last time you had to lift anything over 25 pounds on your job? I am willing to bet you can't even tell me. We have machines that do all of our physical labor nowadays.

Did you use the restroom today? Did you use a toilet and plumbing, or did you do whatever in a hole in your backyard?
Did you eat today? Where did that food come from?

I'm sorry TJW, but I have to agree with SpeakerofTruth.
Our modern society has bred some of the most lazy, weak and pathetic human beings of all time.
I disagree that technology has allowed us to see the weak person more.
What it has done is allowed the weak a greater chance of survival.
If you were weak before we had all this technology, it was very likely that you would probably end up dead pretty quick.
You do realize that all that waste eventually goes back into the earth don't you?
It came from the earth and was probably fertilized with animal manure.

3. How have you formed this viewpoint? inexplicable feeling, exposure to information pertaining to a senario, current events, personal experience etc...
