This constant phone checking is irritating and rude, it actually erodes relationships. I used to have a younger friend who did this on our weekly meet up.

I do wish it would go back to the old way of doing things. Guess that means I’m old-fashioned. No but really, people used to have reasons to call each other and actually talk. Now with things like google you don’t even bother to call to ask someone a question.

I agree…to a point. But I know now that these things exist, I would be beside myself without them. But back then, we didn’t miss them and there was more actual….talking. But for an introvert like me, it’s easier to text or email. lol

I think society would burst into flames if everyone had to put down their phone, get away from social media and actually hold a conversation.

It’s shocking to think how different the world was 20 years ago–and we lived in that world for a long time and didn’t miss what we have now. Things in the ’90s seem so much quainter and simpler than they do now. Of course now that I have the ‘net, texting and Smartphones I don’t think I could ever go back….

I am not so sure about simpler. I distinctly remembering many a night scouring my school library for research material. Oh how the internet would have made things simpler, lol.

Yep… and the card catalog… and the Reader’s Guide to Periodical Literature — anyone remember that monstrosity? Research was HARD back in the pre-internet era!
