It was the peak of civilization
- no internet (or at least popular, easy access internet)
- no social media
- no streaming content
- no online distractions
Which meant
- you spent more time talking to people
- you just spent more time with people
- you read more to ease the boredom
- you used a library more
- you read actual newspapers written by journalists more
- you questioned the government more
- you had to pay to use an inconvenient landline all the time which meant you called less and wanted to just see people more
Now with a high speed internet connection, we’re disconnected from one another and we believe in every hair brained idea we find online.

Civilization didn’t even start until broadband.
