I was thinking about how much the world has changed since I was a kid. I kind of miss the days when you actually had to wait to see someone to tell them a story, or when getting a CD was a huge event. What’s something ‘old school’ you wish hadn’t disappeared?

    I miss that I used to read as my main source of entertainment. I could easily still do it but a combinations of all the options along with my eyes being worse in old age makes it non existent.

      I totally get the eye strain struggle! It’s crazy how much more taxing screens are compared to paper. It’s a shame because nothing beats the smell and feel of a real book. I hope you’re still able to find some stories you enjoy, even if it’s in shorter bursts!

        Sorry im really talking pre massive content on internet. I don’t use a smarphone and interact with a laptop setup that keeps the screen distance workable with my glasses. To read a book I have to keep it at this very specific distance to work while holding it or I have to take off my glasses and have it way up next to my face.
