>>1854845Raising my children on the farm, screenless for their formative years ought to prolong my kind of abnormality for at least a generation. In an area like this, a car is an absolute necessity, and having more than one for different situations is not just desirable, but usual. They'll grow up driving the equipment around like I did, second nature by the time they're old enough to hit public roads. If I'm a good enough dad, then my old fashioned way of going about things oughta evoke feelings of nostalgia and comfort, much like my dad's ways did for me. The whole rest of the world can propel itself to a totally connected, autonomous and digital future all it likes, people subsuming themselves into faceless collectives, mere data points before the rapidly developing societal management software yet to come, if it makes them happy. But only so long as I and my family are left alone.
