I honestly think everything would feel the same without social media. It’s not the internet…social media itself single handily changed the world. We had internet long before Facebook and it wasn’t the least intrusive in anyone’s life.
Everyone is so focused on being nostalgic about the past that no one realizes today could be the best if we made an effort to. For me, I enjoy the present more than 10-20 years ago.
I remember planning to meet friends and you had to 100% trust each other that you would be at the location otherwise you were screwed. Unless you found a payphone, as Tom said.
I feel like people will always look back on their youth with feelings of, “it was better back then.” But keep in mind how relative this is. Good and normal to You might be bad and weird to someone else.
right, but you have to be able to separate objectivity from your subjective experiences. I had some trauma as a kid, but I'm able to step outside of my existence and my personal story and experiences and see the overall picture of what reality was at the time and judge it based upon very commonly agreed upon metrics of QoL.
As a kid in the 80s, I would leave my house around 10 AM. I'd get on my bike or go in the woods and my parents wouldn't see me for 8 hours. They had absolutely no idea where I was. Imagine that now lol? But I think it wasn't a big deal because we didn't have all those external forces turned inward on us because we didn't have social media or the Internet.
From 1977-2000, the world felt normal. I don’t think we realized what normal felt like back then because we didn’t have the situation we have now; we just thought it could only keep getting better. 9/11 is where I think the world slowly started to go downhill. By 2012, we were even deeper. 2018 started to get us where we are now, by 2020-21 we were full fledge into the society we live in today.
The REAL problem I have is everybody around me is incredulous and pissed because I don't do cell phones w/dinky-ass screens! You hear it in their voices! Even companies I do business with, like utilities? It's A PAIN for them that they can't reach me instantly, and don't understand the concept of an answering machine, or SIMPLE phone etiquette, like introducing yourself FIRST before demanding attention!?? Like, who the fuck are you to knock me for not being a lemming? (OK, I'm done now, thank you very much.)

Social media is true evil. As a grown man i'm affected to this crap, can't imagine how new generation is going to deal with this shit. Loneliness, laziness lack of social skills. And coincidences of those are depression witch in fact is very high atm.
Kids today are sheltered from reality and every generation as of late has no idea how to handle life once they're out of school because they've been completely sheltered from life experience.
And the kids today don't mind being tracked, they don't want to be able to do anything where no one knows where they were for hours at a time and possibly alone with their own thoughts.
I literally had this conversation with my 10-year-old son a couple days ago he asked me what a payphone was so I ran down this whole conversation that you guys are having right now. Then I told him when a collect call was. His mind was blown LO. L.
I spent the majority of the 80’s being SA’d by my step dad. Never got to leave the house. Never had a decent meal. Got out of it in 1991. Just weird seeing everyone praise a time that was hell for me. I guess a lot of people had great childhoods so they yearn for their younger years? I’d much rather be in the present than the past.
if you wanna semi feel what it used to feel like in the good ol days, just go on a social media detox. dont even get on your phone for any reason besides emergencies and contacts. That is all, but just go about your day with out it. you will realize you don't need it for anything really.
Back in the day (80s and 90s) life was more spontaneous and adventurous. It was more work it out yourself because you didn’t have a computer in your pocket (maths, spelling and navigation).
I’m 40 but il admit , I’m not one of them good old days people like my grandpa or my dad was , I one of those people that realize technology is making the world easier and better , hell I’m sitting on the toilet watching joe Rogan , while my robot vaccume sweeps the house 🏠
Oh, yeah, the answering machine. Privileged, Tom Green. You were so privileged. Answering machine. You probably had a fax machine, too. Back when Happy Days was on, I asked my dad "wasn't it great to be young in the 50s?" He shot back: "It was still hard to get a job." So much for happy days.
Grew up in the 80s & 90s and it was completely normal.

Small towns don't have cell phones ?
@@LelandReview yes they often have different values and yes sometimes cell service is limited . I’m thinking of a few small town near me where all the kids hang out at the fast food restaurant with their friends and order sodas and talk for hours. And on the weekends and summers you can see the kids playing and riding bikes and exploring just like we did.
@@Chris-ot1ze Thank you so much for your 0.01% out liar example. We're all talking about how society as a whole changed and you're over here pointing out oddities that always existed like it's some revelation lmao
When I was young phone numbers only had 7 digits unless it was long distance
That's an interesting topic. I have thought about this in depth.
Every day is what you make of it. It’s not like we’re being attacked by bees all the time or anything
Time's aren't worse for Joe, but Joe, times are definitely worse!
Times are good when you have 200 mil banked lol.
The day of July 31, 2003 was the absolute peak of humanity.
August 1, 2023 MySpace came out and changed the world.
“Daddy would you like some sausage”-Tom green 😂
The voluntary surrendering by the public, of any notion of personal privacy is the biggest change since the advent of smartphones, artists warned us that something so extreme would be the action of idealogues bent on power at all costs, in reality the docile population happily handed it over in exchange for angry birds
Social media is true evil. As a grown man i'm affected to this crap, can't imagine how new generation is going to deal with this shit. Loneliness, laziness lack of social skills. And coincidences of those are depression witch in fact is very high atm.
My father refused to buy an answering machine.
Eddie before his wife 😂
Eddie is a pretty based dude.
Kids today are sheltered from reality and every generation as of late has no idea how to handle life once they're out of school because they've been completely sheltered from life experience.
The music we listened to in the 'Good Old Days' was definitely better. I believe 70s / 80s were damn peak as far as music goes, but I'm old.
Video games were still hard, cars were still cool, only shitty thing in the 90s was the football franchises like the cowboys, lol
And the kids today don't mind being tracked, they don't want to be able to do anything where no one knows where they were for hours at a time and possibly alone with their own thoughts.
Operation DISCONNECT, turn your phones off
Life was more of an adventure last century... also a better economy & everyone was happier (and thinner😂)
back when they made Tommy Boy... i wonder if they were thinking of Tom. probably not, but i like the back in time thing.
The 80s ruled
I literally had this conversation with my 10-year-old son a couple days ago he asked me what a payphone was so I ran down this whole conversation that you guys are having right now. Then I told him when a collect call was. His mind was blown LO. L.
Having kids sounds awful.
Holy crap, you would need 5 bucks in change for a long distance payphone call!! Hold on, I've got to put 1.25 more in!
I spent the majority of the 80’s being SA’d by my step dad. Never got to leave the house. Never had a decent meal. Got out of it in 1991. Just weird seeing everyone praise a time that was hell for me. I guess a lot of people had great childhoods so they yearn for their younger years? I’d much rather be in the present than the past.
if you wanna semi feel what it used to feel like in the good ol days, just go on a social media detox. dont even get on your phone for any reason besides emergencies and contacts. That is all, but just go about your day with out it. you will realize you don't need it for anything really.
Interesting point about myopia and phone addiction. Although it's disputed this is definitely a thing imo.
If you left home nobody know where you where and people use to just show up at your house.
I’ve hated my life in the 2000s. Wish I was a 90s kid
Back in the day (80s and 90s) life was more spontaneous and adventurous. It was more work it out yourself because you didn’t have a computer in your pocket (maths, spelling and navigation).
more of sense of adventure back then
90s and early 2000s were best
Leave your phone at home lol
I’m 40 but il admit , I’m not one of them good old days people like my grandpa or my dad was , I one of those people that realize technology is making the world easier and better , hell I’m sitting on the toilet watching joe Rogan , while my robot vaccume sweeps the house 🏠
Oh, yeah, the answering machine. Privileged, Tom Green. You were so privileged. Answering machine. You probably had a fax machine, too.
Back when Happy Days was on, I asked my dad "wasn't it great to be young in the 50s?"
He shot back: "It was still hard to get a job."
So much for happy days.
We had way more fun.
