What Do You Miss The Most About Pre-Internet Life?

Bree 2 year s ago

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...) drinks

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.

"Making plans was an adventure, especially if you and your friends all relied on public transportation. Look up the movie times in the newspaper (or later call moviefone), decide on a time to meet (and tell that one friend who’s always late an earlier time), walk our your house and check the bus timetable (that’s hardly accurate anyway), and then hoping nothing happens en route since you had no way of telling your friends if you’re late"
