What Did People Do Before Smartphones?
What Did People Do Before Smartphones?
Recently started using a LightPhone II when out of the house, and I found the article captured my current experience pretty well. It’s not so bad to be bored sometimes.
You're viewing a single thread.
Books, newspapers, video game consoles, broadcast television.
Because of the lack of communication you wasted a whole lot of time trying to see who was around and who wanted to do things. You'd buy 10 minutes over to Jimmy's house see he's not there bike 10 minutes back like 5 minutes the other direction then Gerald's house.
Movie theaters and concessions used to be a lot less expensive even considering inflation.
There were malls and arcades. Department stores with cheap cafeterias.
As others have said standing in line was the worst. The best you could hope for was that you'd be able to do some people watching or maybe you got a book with you if you're the type to read.
That reminds me, I used to carry a book everywhere. I certainly don't do it half as much nowadays.
That and or a walkman
Flip the cassete and rewind it, fuck the tape is tangled.. nvm you can untangle it...a bit of noise will not hurt your ears more than headphones you have
Turn On. Tune In. Drop Out.
