    We can agree to disagree. I don’t miss the days of paying for long distance phone calls, all the waiting around in trying to link up with friends at a designated place, looking up addresses in a physical book of map grids, manually maintaining a calendar in a planner, driving across town and waiting in line for tickets to a show. The internet made things better.

    The other stuff back then wasn’t always better, either. Smoking eveywhere, unreliable cars, air pollution, crime, etc., really cut into quality of life.
