- dmitryminkovsky 5y agoWhat did you switch to?

- brigandish 5y agoDo you remember a time when you had to make a plan with a friend to meet at a specific place at a specific time and if one of you wasn't there or had a last minute problem there was probably no way to contact the other person? That was annoying, true. I also refused to get a mobile phone for years, much to the chagrin of my girlfriend(s). It meant I used to come home to an answering machine full of messages and feel much more loved than I ever have with the immediate drip feed of messages I get now. I wonder, what will I really miss that a book and a dumbphone won't be able to replace in my life? Perhaps the maps.
