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?
This is why I’ve either deleted my account or stopped interacting with strangers on the big tech platforms. Lemmy is pretty much the only place I actively talk with strangers, since it’s the only place that doesn’t have massive ulterior motives and algorithmic promotion of toxicity.
I keep my phone nearby in the evenings, but I really only check on it every once in a while or if I get called. I’ll still be plugged in to whatever I’m doing on my computer, but I can more or less “log off” in the evenings. I miss being entirely unreachable sometimes like I was back in the early 2010s.
