"Be invited by the pilot to visit the cockpit of a passenger airliner in flight (I one spent the better part of an hour in the cockpit of a fully booked 747, flying internationally, as the pilot explained all the systems and backups to me). That scenario ain’t ever gonna happen again."

"Hanging up the phone after an argument in a satisfying way. You used to slam the receiver down and you got extra points if you hit the ringer. Like in those test-of-strength games at a county fair.

Now its press the “End Call” button… BOOP. Not as satisfying at all. Because any signs of aggression WILL end up in a cracked screen. Then you’ll have to deal with Apple and get frustrated all over again."

"Not old, but I used to work in a shop where some bloke sent his kid, no older than 14 into the shop to buy him cigarettes twice, with and without a note.

"In the summer, my mom would kick me out of the house and tell me to go play. She didn’t drive me anywhere, no phone in my pocket, just left to my own devices until dinnertime. I’d get on my bike and ride all over town and get into all sorts of shenanigans. Bikes were truly freedom to a kid back then.
