Today Thoreau would hate the way we have modernized. In the book he says, “Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumb nail.” I don’t think he would appreciate what we think simple is nowadays, like how we think using technology for everything is simple but he would say we do not need those things to begin with. We are completely dependent on technology and others, whereas Thoreau was a very independent person.
