What did people do before cell phones
    #18865580 - 09/19/13 10:52 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Imagine you're a shy introvert buying a coffee in the 80's.  and then you sit down and wait for the coffee to be made.  What do you do?


I try not to bury my face in my phone during every mundane piece of my life but there's nothing for me to do.
I could sit down and meditate but it would feel weird doing that in a coffee shop.
and why would I carry a book around with me when I can read e-books and articles on my phone?
I don't really care for talking to strangers either.

Newspapers. 80s era movies will confirm this.

Or you bring someone with you.

Masturbation. I remember sitting down in a coffee shop before iPhones etc were around and we would all just whip it out and beat off when waiting for something instead of be a phone zombie. People had values back then.

I think there was a hella lot less introverts before the digital age

P.S even if I don't really have anything to do with myself I don't usually just look at my phone for no reason and stuff or something

I mean even owning 5 laptops, an iPad, and an iPhone, this is still my standby. I've masturbated at work too many times to count (they need to quit hiring sexy 25 year olds, sorry... I assure you I wash my hands before I scoop your fries).

Many friends of mine have admitted that when they're "using their phone", they're just flipping through the menu. A couple even confided that they pretend to be having important phone conversations... with no one on the other end of the line :lol:

Age has nothing to do with maturity, we can see that in your posts.

Chicks were way less distracted.

Then again, more missed connections.

You could try thinking about stuff, or ya know, just relax for once in you life and not have to be busied by something.
I like breathing, that and looking at all the beauty the world has to offer. Yea, breathing and beauty is pretty nice.


Damn. I would plow that shit all the time. Nothing would get done.

Before cell phones you just lived life. You just walked to your friends house and went to the video store to rent a movie. It was really nice because people would stick to the plans, now days everyone just cancels last minute through text for no good reason. Definitely something I miss, it was simpler.:feelsbatman:
