In 20 years, today's teenagers will be talking about "the good days when Twitter and Instagram were all the rage". I think that part of what you miss is the feeling of being young, with an open road ahead of you, fewer responsibilities, and hormones in full force, making life seem much more colorful.
- johnkpaul 8y agoYes this is so true. I feel like the major difference between me now and the me that I feel nostalgic about is the free time that I no longer have after multiple children.
- iforgotpassword 8y agoThis. I still recall this exciting feeling of realizing how I'm chatting in real-time with dozens of people from all over the country. Also how edonkey and then emule were all the rage. Downloading all the music and movies, no worries about copyright, vbulletin boards where you'd discuss how to tweak your emule to reach a few KB/s more. Waiting days until the camrip of the latest movie finally finished - blue screen, file gone, start over, burn rsvcd which is way better than mvcd. No divx because the DVD player can't handle it. Yeah I think I actually prefer the Netflix experience.
- muzani 8y agoI'm not sure if it's me as I have plenty of free time as an independent consultant. I think it's more about friends. I have a good time socializing with 18 year olds because they can dump their time into socializing. It's a lot harder chatting with someone in their 30s.
- bsaul 8y agoThat’s unfortunately probably what all of this is about. I realized how true that was when i went back living in the same area as when i was a kid. Everything seemed duller , narrower, and noiser than when i was a kid, and yet it was exactly the same place.
