It's David Hoffman again filmmaker, and I'm about to show you another clip from 1979 which seems to be very popular with many of my subscribers.

Another clip from this same movie that I made back then the information society, primetime Public television, looking at the coming of the information Age.

So go to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, which is a typical beautiful town that has the coming of the information age in the banks.

Ah, in the airport, in the hotels and still the old timers, the farmers, the farmers that had lived there for hundreds of years.

So I got old people and I got young people and I made this television special, which is just terrific.

The information society primetime, PBS looking at that moment 1979 and I throw away everything I did news.

I just didn't see the value since I was carrying £39,000 of stuff with me when I moved between one house and another when I was moving fairly regularly during that time in my life.

I didn't see carrying old 16 millimeter work picture, which is all scratched up and filled with spices and work sound.

We just fill with punch holes and other stuff like that, but threw it out Nam on YouTube several years ago, and I'm looking for material that you my subscribers would like to see.

And I know you like 1979 these old stuff that I film on Wall Street and with the old lady who is 98 in 1979.

And so I go look into my basement and I find these rolls of outtakes, not the intakes.

All the good stuff, but the outtakes, all this stuff I didn't want 16 millimeter work print filled with holes and scratches.

16 millimeters sound filled with beeps and other stuff, and I copy it.

You're about to see an old couple who talk about the old days, and it's almost as good as the 90 year old lady.

Walt, the man of the couple is negative towards everything.

There isn't the thing about the modern day.

He liked kind of sounds like some of my commentators.

In any case, take a look at these old people.

And please be tolerant of the fact this is not my interview style.

Why don't you start Jenny by telling me what Lancaster was like Lancaster when you were a kid, what changes?

What was it like then and what has changed the most?

I only knew what happened around our own home because I never got farther than a few miles from home at that time.

And you traveled by horse and buggy or carriage or else he rode a horse.

And, uh, then my father was one of the first people around there to get a car.

Well, it was no world, but I mean, it would be well, now, had these big wheels with solid tires.

We put benches in and saddle on and went to church that way On week days, he took out the benches and loaded it up for market.

He attended market in writing and to produce to market, which he grew up.

Talk to somebody else where everybody also that line would also find out in those days was different to be in.

Oh, yeah, it's a difference then and now.

We lived out on the farm and when we wanted to do shopping, then we had to go to the city, of course, but that was a day's trip.

You took to one a day to drive to the city and do your shopping, and you didn't go very often once a year on a shopping trip and for groceries.

My father would get the things at a wholesale.

One case of corn flakes in one case of greatness, Then we alternated you think is the wall.

That has a lot of good points, but it has its drawbacks.

Like everything else, we have tourism in this kind of nice, you know, tremendous influx of tourists.

And we thought in the beginning that was a wonderful thing.

You know, it stimulated business, but now it's becoming all full of hot dog stands and everything else and trash along the road.

Sometimes you wish it was back in the natural state when you first came here and I it wasn't really Yes.

We had a challenge then and be accepted it.

Andrea, we enjoyed ourselves in it, and that's what I like.

If you have a challenge, if you have it too easy, that's what's gonna happening to our nation.

Are we have things just given to us If we feel we can't don't wanna work with the government, take care of us those days we didn't know about this for both.

I think things are going faster and faster and faster and harder for all of us.

Me and you, Our mental mental institutions are being crowded because of the great stress put upon us now.

I bet that if you had some hostile Indians, it wasn't very comfortable.

But we met the challenge and and savors the Pilgrims did.

When they came over, they they didn't have anything to eat, but they did the best they could.

They didn't have any good is to take care of him.

If they don't have to do good and to take care of him, we don't have a heard of it.

But what about today in terms of stress is what what about what's good about all this information and change?

I mean the fact that there's all this stuff, the fact that you didn't see the world and you have seen the fact that there's telecommunications, the fact that all this stuff, what's good about how has it improved life for all of us?

Well, it's made life easier in a certain sense, but it doesn't give us the challenge anymore that we had.

Although it depends how you look at it, you can look at it as a challenge, no matter how high the stressing the moments are but it doesn't have that.

That's something that we had in the beginning that made a strong.

When the nation starts, there's strong because they have Thio.

When Mr Doe in Israel, uh, the a few 1,000,000 Jewish people Israelis they knew they had a go ahead and do things to make a living and get a foothold by the Arabs.

They didn't care because it being a difficult just life is just going like that.

Well, I was thinking of, you know, if you got sick and you needed a doctor, But in those days, you had to take your horse in your body and go after the doctor.

Now, you just call him on the phone or get you know, Ronald the hospital.

They just sent an ambulance from the hospital.

You know what is that change done for us?

The fact that most of us are now not on the farm and most of us now not in the factory One thing it's put a lot of cost on on the food because you know the reason this much food raised anymore Because people aren't on the farm.

Nothing we pay the price is when you go to the supermarket, you pay a high price for the for food.
