"Reading the newspaper and magazines used to be just about one of my favorite things.
Now it seems pointless to clutter the house with so much paper when I can access all of it online – but of course I don’t. I pick and choose just a few articles, I don’t really browse the way I would before and I encounter a lot fewer new or enlightening things.
Getting the Sunday New York Times and then going out for brunch and reading it with your friends/dates was such a treat
Editor’s Note: Did this really happen? Sounds like something out of Gen-X indie film."

So.... 4, 13, and 18... nothing about the internet age prevents you from doing any of these things. 17 as well to some extent (newspapers are dying, but they are still there)
9 and 10 - you mean to say things are more convenient now?
14 - you mean you were the annoying guy who always claimed to "know" stuff. Now people can call you on your sh#t.
19 - I am guessing you never had much of an attention span

Penelope,
I think history proves you wrong there... In practically all of Europe for example you either were a Christian or you were dead. Just one of themany examples I'm afraid.

Being able to do stupid stuff and only my friends would know about it and maybe remember now instead of it being immortalized in a video posted everywhere. (thank god there's no videos and almost no pictures...)

#6 wasn't a Saturday AM cartoon. That's The Ambiguously Gay Duo from SNL. LOL

I miss not being aware of how many stupid people there are in the world. Before social media, I just assumed most of us had common sense. Nope.

#17 Dear Editor. Yes, reading the paper with a loved one was very common, and many people still do it today. But admittedly it is a habit formed by those whose ways were set before the advent of the smartphone. So, as a 40 year old... I don't do it, but my parents still do.
