I've noticed lately, that without my willing it, my mind has been gently saying goodbye to technological civilization, and looking towards a future without it

I find myself turning on the lamp, or the kitchen faucet, and thinking how convenient it is to have these things, reliably, and how it will be a different life, not to

It's a bit like when a friend of mine was buying a house, and she said, 'In my mind, I am living there already'

It's also a bit like when doctors tell me I don't have long to live, and I appreciate every tree and smile, while saying goodbye

Anybody else experiencing this? What are you saying goodbye to?

@NilaJones This is exactly what's motivating me to learn how to solder, make, and repair electronics, as well as get into amateur radio. Getting away from dependence on electronics manufacturers and telecommunication infrastructure is a safety thing at this point.

I just hope balcony solar is legalized here so I can reduce dependence on electricity infrastructure.

Me too with the radio, although my hands are not steady enough for soldering
