  It wouldn’t have been rare at all because it wasn’t rare.

  Yes, you wouldn’t be video chatting (and still shouldn’t be… it is a plane for crying out loud). But emails were 100% a thing and I had plenty of gchat conversations with colleagues that included the phrase “We are about to land, Ill get back to you when I am at my hotel”.

    Yeah people are talking like 2016 was 2006.

    Like remember how much better Skype was in 2012 than any of the crap we have now?

        VENT! Ha, I remember using that back in the Counterstrike days.

        I’m supposed to say ‘fun times’, but I sucked at Counterstrike. Not actually that much fun for me.
