Sometimes it feels like people forget this used to be the only option. Was it a little annoying? Yeah. But oh well.
Ironically I remember reading somewhere that part of the reason people are so consistently shitty to each other is they forgot how to deal with the millions of little face to face interactions we had pre-internet in order to get things done in life. How ironic would it be if big tech forced us back into that mold and we all became a bit nicer because of it?
I long for the future you describe ;_;
