This one really stood out. People knew less about these stories but cared more and had to actually engage with people to find out. You didn't just know something happened, you found out what it meant to the other person.
Now, it's information overload: teens can know everything going on in someone's life because of snapchat, insta, etc. but they actually care way less about that person's life |

Date: March 1st, 2018 4:52 PM Author: Irradiated lodge Weirdly this is a critical skill I retained both telling and listening and it's a key to my ability to not get fired at my megacorp inhouse. To tell a story to an audience you you have to actually make the characters, their actions, motivations, the setting all fit together to have your audience appreciate the context. I fucking hate lawyers because they typically have aspergers too much to actually get half of what is being conveyed. But Sales guys and product people that are Gen X and older love you if you can do this for them, both in terms of achieving a goal of a project and in terms of internal networking.

making things easier doesn't make them better.
legendary wrestler dan gable once gave a great speech about wrestling, and he said the hardest part about becoming a great wrestler was overcoming the natural desire to find an easier way to do things -- you always had to find the HARDEST way to do things to make yourself better.
we are really losing sight of that today -- tech may be making our lives easier in a way, but it's making it worse. |

Date: March 1st, 2018 1:56 PM Author: Umber Parlor Older than probably 95% percent of the people here. The phone-phone was actually more important. I remember my sister being on the phone for hours talking to friends. You went places. Every Friday night you "hung out" -- at a friends house, cruising around, the local hang out (e.g., some restaurant that did not mind teens hanging around), the mall, etc. Same with Saturday. Your entertainment was TV, stereo, video games (in house or at the arcade) and obviously there was not enough of that to take up the whole day, so you would just shoot the shit with friends, play sports (I played whiffle ball almost every day one summer), read, whatever. Now you have constant "entertainment" in the palm of your hand. There was an article in the Atlantic about how iphones have changed teens today. They actually have less sex, go out less often, get into less car accidents. But they basically have the maturity of 10 year-olds. |

Date: March 1st, 2018 4:52 PM Author: histrionic stag film french chef We actually hung out more. Every day after school chilling, parties of various sizes on weekend nights. Drinking 40's, smoking weed, dropping acid, and enjoying lower Ivy admissions with our 1370 SATs and 3.3 GPAs.
Your g/f focused on you more because she was less distracted. A little less fucking because of AIDS, and you used condoms when you did, but I think led girls to put some real effort in blow job skills. We got a lot of 180 chill and delightful BJs from little tarts willing to swallow and whose sole focus was to see how good of an effort she made.
Oh, and she would lie in bed thinking of you as she listened to that mix tape you made her. Sometimes she'd call and touch herself over her cotton panties (this made her feel super naughty since masturbation was still taboo) while you planned a weekend camping or ski trip. Your parents would let you go unsupervised because they didn't helicopter you and were thrilled when you got your license at 16. |

Date: March 1st, 2018 5:26 PM Author: trip territorial hospital I'm old enough to remember the first year or so of college being cell phone free (we all had them but they were Nokias and not smartphones). The Kazaa to Winamp music routine was fucking amazing. We could play power hour set to a Winamp playlist. Girls would come by your dorm room and leave a note on your dry erase board. You would stagger back to your computer at 2am (if alone) and start carpet bombing chicks on AIM to get one to come over with mixed results. No uber so you actually walked everywhere in packs which helped get the energy turned up en route to house parties or the bar.
Got next level hazed at the frat house because nobody was worried about photographic or video evidence. Never went to class and half the profs still didn't use email - and if they did; you could pull the whole "email without the attachment" routine and buy yourself a day on a term paper.
The best feeling on earth was throwing an AIM out there to the hot girl on the fourth floor of the dorm when your roommate left to go somewhere and having her come down to your room. Two knocks at the door and there she is with a white tank top (over the newish fake spring break is in one week base tan) and black terry cloth pants, sly grin, twirling her school ID card and dorm room key lanyard around her finger as she strolls into your dorm room.
Facebook came out towards the tail end of college for me. In our time, a hot chick might go undiscovered for years if you didn't have classes with her or if she wasn't in a sorority you partied with or whatever. That was always a 180 moment when you would walk into class and see some hottie that was previously unknown to you and your bros and then get her to start coming to the frat or whatever. You were celebrated like Christopher Columbus.
Now it's thank emails and status updates. Jesus. Fuck. |
