Recently, the older generations shared their thoughts on things today’s youth would never understand, and their comments were eye-opening, to say the least.
Before the internet, getting information required actually picking up the phone. Others chimed in with similar stories of calling a recorded line for school snow closings, or having to watch the local TV news and see if your school was on the list.
Before the era of YouTube and Spotify, people didn’t have access to any song ever recorded on demand. One person reminisced about waiting patiently for your favorite song to come on the radio and being ready to hit ‘record’ as soon as it started.
Before everyone had a cell phone in their pocket, “people could not always get ahold of you, and it was a good thing.”
“Constantly being connected really changes the way you live your life,” remarked one man.
Remember when you had to make sure you were home at just the right time to watch your favorite TV show? They youngest generation has no concept of a world without streaming on demand.
