naturally th the vegetables are free of  chemicals and other substances that can be
9
85520
9440
01:34
harmful although I think the main  reason is because I like doing it

15
133840
14280
02:28
used to spend Sundays tiing up the house or  planting flowers in the garden we did it as  
16
148120
9240
02:37
a family and we all collaborated and had  a lot of fun doing it I miss those times  
17
157360
9160
02:46
now everything is technology video games  and the internet we have lost contact with  
18
166520
6800
02:53
nature contact with nature why do I need to  to have contact with nature I have internet  
19
173320
12440
03:05
if I want to see all the types of plants  and vegetables in the world I can do it  
20
185760
6120
03:11
on the computer and I can even do it faster  or if I need something I can order it for
21
191880
9960
03:21
delivery we are in the age of Technology Grandpa  now everything is fine faster easier it's
22
201840
10000
03:31
better it can be faster and easier but not better  in the past life was simpler people didn't have  
23
211840
13560
03:45
as many complex gadgets or busy schedules  they had more time to spend with family and
24
225400
6080
03:51
friends they're not complex  they're easy to use and many  
25
231480
8520
04:00
other people use it too probably but communities  were often closer in the past neighbors knew each
26
240000
10320
04:10
other and people helped one another more  frequently I remember we helped each other in our
27
250320
9640
04:19
town there was a stronger sense of  togetherness that has changed now people are
28
259960
9800
04:29
distrustful now they are afraid to reach  out to help someone they don't want to
29
269760
8560
04:38
socialize they don't even greet the  neighbor they are always in a hurry to get
30
278320
10040
04:48
somewhere that's because people do many  things now many people have different jobs
31
288360
11280
05:01
or they have a job they have to study and go  to the gym or any class they have a busy life  
32
301560
10040
05:11
yeah but that's not necessarily good you need to  stop for a moment to appreciate life smell the  
33
311600
9920
05:21
roses look at the birds listen to people think  about your life and your family and friends
34
321520
8120
05:31
what are you talking about smell  roses we don't have time for
35
331600
5560
05:37
that people are busy trying to earn money  study or get home to watch their favorite
36
337160
10000
05:47
series that's exactly the problem technology  is good of course it is good I know that  
37
347160
12480
06:00
but it has some disadvantages too let's see um for
38
360640
5680
06:06
example people did not have the stress of  constant emails social media or technology  
39
366320
10080
06:16
problems in the past they enjoyed life  without the distractions of modern
40
376400
8960
06:25
devices people communicated more face  to face and this way they had real
41
385360
9400
06:34
conversations and build a stronger personal  relationships without relying on texting or  
42
394760
10120
06:44
online messages face to face people no longer  want to meet in person they prefer to meet
43
404880
9960
06:54
online yes I know also in the past many people  had more active and natural Lifestyles they  
44
414840
13160
07:08
walked more ate less processed food and  had less pollution leading to healthier  
45
428000
6840
07:14
living that's why I prefer to plant my own  vegetables and at the same time I enjoy  
46
434840
9320
07:24
doing it yeah probably you're right but  now they sell unprocessed food it is more
47
444160
9640
07:33
expensive it's never going to be the same  I am sure of that many years ago I missed  
48
453800
10200
07:44
those times people appreciated Simple  Pleasures more like a beautiful sunset  
49
464000
8120
07:52
or a homecooked meal there was a greater focus  on enjoying the small everyday moments believe
50
472120
10480
08:02
me also there was less  emphasis on buying new things
51
482600
9520
08:12
because people were happy with  what they had and valued their  
52
492120
6320
08:18
possessions more leading to less waste  and more satisfaction there was often  
53
498440
7680
08:26
a better balance between work and  personal life life and because of
54
506120
5680
08:31
this people worked reasonable hours  and spent more time with their
55
511800
9160
08:40
families there was a focus on quality rather  than quantity products were often made to
56
520960
10200
08:51
last and people took pride  on craftsmanship and the re  
57
531160
8400
08:59
ility another thing family Bonds were often  stronger extended families lived closer
58
539560
11000
09:10
together and family gatherings  were often frequent strengthening
59
550560
9120
09:19
relationships we don't do that now that's  why we don't spend much time together
60
559680
10040
