  we have lost a lot of our natural sensitivity because our technology has taken over from our senses, but some people can still tell if a storm is coming or a disaster rumbling, they usually don’t have the advanced technology to rely on like a lot of us do! Lots of people don’t rely on technology but a lot more of us do!
