And how dreadful it must have been.

(I'm being serious by the way - down forever with that attitude that social media is somehow lesser than what came before it and isn't a massive improvement simply because nostalgia)
It wasn't all terrible. I loved writing and receiving letters in the mail and had a huge collection of all types of stationary and envelopes. You'll never know the fun and excitement of picking up newly developed pictures with friends, and laughing at the bad ones.
Spending time with friends and being able to have a real conversation without any of them staring at a phone or constantly checking one. And if you did something embarrassing, it wouldn't be plastered on Facebook for everyone to hear about instantly, it had to be passed from person to person and never spread far.

I have had pictures developed before. The existence of camera phones doesn't mean you can't do that anymore. And you can still laugh about bad photos with your friends, just more immediately.

A conversation over the internet is a real conversation. People you talk to through text and the internet are just as real as anyone you talk to in real life, and the words you say are just as real and important. Destroy the idea that they're not.
