It's almost like you fall off a cliff.

So I think you brought up shoes, and that's a really good point. And this is another thing we talked about in our book, Ready to Run. But the American Academy of Pediatrics actually recommends that the best shoes for toddlers is no shoes. And then the second best option would be a shoe that basically disrupts the foot the least.

And it really just acts as a protection from the environment, like from stepping on rocks and so forth. Like a ballet slipper. Like a ballet slipper or something that has a very wide toe box that gives the foot plenty of room to move around. So I think shoes are a big part of it. I think the chair is obviously sitting and the chair becomes a big part of it.

When we were doing the research for our book, Deskbound, we read this really obscure book called The Chair by this UC Berkeley professor named Galen Krantz. And she actually said that the way that modern schools were set up were really actually designed to train kids to work in industrial facilities, right?

And sort of the sitting position so that we could train them to sit like that and work like that so they could move on to work in industry. And then I think the third big thing is the rise of technology. I mean, you know, sometimes people have said, hey, you know, what's the deal? Like, we didn't have to do a standing desk when we were in the 80s or 70s. Like, we were fine in the 60s.

But, you know, I think the big difference is that we didn't have technology. You know, computers, phones, computers, phones, even television.

I mean, computers at the most, you know, in the 80s, we would come home and watch like an hour of Love Boat from eight to nine. But that was kind of the extent of it.
