What is one way you are grateful to be living in the year 2025? And if you could bring back ONE thing from previous eras, what would it be? (beehaw.org)

Specifically in this year? Hmm, I mean for all of the complexities and hurdles, I'm just grateful to be here.

I think while technology is a double-edged sword, the benefits it can bring are massive. I've learned so much because of the internet. I've also met many amazing people. So in that way I'm grateful.

If I could bring back one thing from past eras, I would bring back a slower, more grounded way of living and tighter communites. I think technology has advanced, but the owning class has used it to min max everything, so we haven't seen the benefits.

I think people need more time for rest and taking care of themselves and their families. Our most precious resource is time, and we lose so much of it, often for arguably not enough compensation.
