About this episode
Dan McArdle reflects on the changes in daily life and communication from the year 2000 to 2025 in a holiday bonus episode.
Happy Holidays from Dan Time!! Back for a quick BONUS episode, a ramble-sode, if you will. Take a listen and consider the exponential changes in the way we go about our business in 2025 versus 25 years ago. Have you had some trouble "feeling" merry & bright this year? How has daily communication & media changed - and is it working for you or would you like to shrug off at least some of it?? A few things we did not have in our lives in 2000: -smartphones -social media -apps upon apps upon apps -texts with chat bubbles & emojis -junk texts & calls every day -work emails at home (for most) -the need to stay on top of it all Was everyday living more fun in 2000? Or were the ups & downs the same? TUNE IN to hear my thoughts on the matter! And stay tuned for a follow-up episode before the New Year. Thanks for listening to the show!! dantimepod@gmail.com @dantimepod Intro music by Danny Cole™
