What’s something you miss from the old days?
Mix tapes. Tapes were my favorite thing in high school & college. If you had a crush on someone you’d make them a mix tape. Tapes are also called cassettes.
Rotary phones were great because if you weren’t home you couldn’t be reached. I remember how much I loved having my first answering machine. Seeing who had called.
It was great because if you made plans with someone they actually had to show up because you didn’t have a way of cancelling plans last minute by text.
I now make my own mixes on Spotify, I am anti-algorythm & do my own thing. You can find over 9 years of different mixes under ceroaldset on the service.
For example if we had a snow day, the parents had what was called a telephone tree that they had to teach other parents on. If the line was busy, you were obligated to call them back.
I miss the old days+ when things were simpler & not everything revolved around a smartphone.
