  It’s interesting how even disconnecting from the internet somehow turned into another shopping trend! 🧐

  I have an analog bag that I take to chemotherapy treatments, I really look forward to my reading, sudoku, crochet/knit time❤

  I don't have an analogue bag, but I have started reading more, so when I needed a new purse recently I made sure it was big enough to put a book in.

  I don’t really have an analog bag because I don’t like mixing up my hobby supplies together, but right now I’ve been crocheting a lot so I’ve been carrying around my crochet basket. Finished two projects this week! I crocheted a morning star flail (lol) and a waffle book pouch!<br><br>Also, perfect video for rolling up a ball of yarn to lol

  for me it would definitely be either a gaming system or a dvd player lol. i am one of those people who would &apos;go analog&apos; but just with a one-use system instead to help focus on what i&apos;m doing instead of being pulled in a million directions. great video :D

  i loved how you incorporated informative quotes! loved this vid<br><br>and the discussion on overconsumption resonated with me as someone who tends to go down rabbit holes with old tech / is influenced easily.<br><br>like i was looking at ipod dupes and nintendo DSs, which cost a lot, but in reality i think i just want the thrill of receiving something new. there are for sure people who would use an ipod regularly, for example, but realistically i still enjoy how easy downloads are on spotify (personally)<br><br>the whole “posting that you’re offline” thing is also super real. i don’t necessarily want people to know that i’m offline, but i AM jealous of people who are…naturally (??) offline? like they really don’t have to be intentional about it, it’s just their norm that they don’t like or feel the need to use social media (and these are the people who are cool to me!). in contrast, whenever i take breaks from social media, i search up videos related to getting off social media, etc. i’m not casual about it lol (and perhaps this is a sign of addiction in a way)

  I don’t have an analog bag, I am one that loves writing, journaling is my go to if not knitting, crocheting, or quilting. I love reading books as well. I actually have been limiting myself on social media. I enjoy being outside or going to a coffee shop or Panera and knit and crochet. It clears my mind and gives me so much peace. I have always kept my phone on silent since I don’t like talking on the phone. As for YouTube, I am only on it a little to watch/listen to podcast to keep me company while I do my crafting at times. Sometimes I wish the world could go back to some of the simple things from the past but I know this is the way the world is going. I always like your videos and they are not long. Thank you so much for sharing. 😊❤

  I&apos;m actually building my own device, wich is kind of an &apos;analog&apos; hobby in itself. It&apos;s gonna have a MP3 player, note taking app, diary app and camera app (but you can&apos;t view the pictures until you put them on your PC). And it won&apos;t be connected to the internet!!
