Well, that is a start to my list. I am sure more later!
LOL! Yes, these things are pretty great! So, is there anything we can do? Or should we just figure our life is an open book?

Re: Progress??

But, did our grandparents or great-grandparents in some cases feel some of these same things when the car was invented or the first man on the moon took place?

Re: Progress??

I think alot more people feel it but don't know what it is. [ I'mnot sure if I know what it is] but most will brush it off or try to fit more in.For me I feel like i'm spinning my wheels but not going anywhere.Doing all this stuff but not accomplishing anything.

Re: Progress??

You are right .Although my kids might feel it sometimes,just because they go with us on our trips ,and know that there is more to life.
