Something just is not right in this world

I am 55. I have had to adapt to many things in my life. I remember when IBM was the only maker of personal computers, and the world did not function like it does today. I am truly adaptable. <br><br>For the last 18 months or so, I began to feel like is no dispelling the cloud of sadness that has been growing in my soul. I am not special. I am like many people who have seen this world change for the worse in their life time. What I believe is happening in this world is the loss of human interaction. <br><br>I remember growing up in small towns. I owned the only stand alone clothing store in Jackson Heights, NY, where I grew up, and we all knew our customers. I grew up in a time where dispelling the cloud of sadness that has been growing in my soul. I am not special.

I remember growing up in small towns. I owned the only stand alone clothing store in Jackson Heights, NY, where I grew up, and we all knew our customers. I grew up in a time where people used to court each other. Women wore dresses just to go out on a date at the movies. Men wore suits..(yes, I know that there were rough times too, but we saw people, and we saw the beauty of friendship, and courtship, and the love of people.<br><br>yes, there were rough times. People were nasty to people of color, or religion. There was no China. <br><br>Now, here I am. I believe I am the last holdout on the use of AI. I am not on social media, and I am stuck..I feel I am stuck in time..I am not sure how to deal with this. I use Google to make my life easier, but I am so scared that I am about to lose myself. Nobody talks. Nobody says please or thank you. Nobody talks to each other. I have heard on several occasions at restaurants, when someone funnier than me is at the next table and says "can you get another glass of wine, I would love another glass of wine". I have always felt the need, when I see people struggling to find their phone to take a picture of their plate, and just pulled out my phone to take their photo. I have always tried to stay busy, so I have never understood what people used their phones for..In my experience, I would look at my phone a dozen or so times a day.<br><br>I no longer believe in Christianity, and I no longer believe in the government. I fear for our future. I am not a conspiracy theorist, or I assume I am not..In my heart, I believe that AI has accelerated at lightning speed so that we do not ever see real people again in our lives. I am not sure how much longer I can be the last holdout..(yes, I know that I am not alone, but for the purpose of this post, I am going to pretend I am). <br><br>I have lost my way. I have lost hope. I am so tired of being where I am in life. In order to make a living now, I have to learn some way of using the computer system. I believe that I am the only person alive who does not know how to type. <br><br>I wanted to share my thoughts with you..I am not sure why, but I hope you can assist me in some way. How do you feel about the world we live in today?
