When books started being mass-produced and publicly available, there was push back against those. Readers were portrayed as detached from reality, academic snobs, losers. Even today, there are significant political pushes to ban books and defund libraries.

Television, telephones, railroads, electricity, the printing press. There always have been (and probably always will be) people afraid of change who blame new technologies for the evils they see in society.

Agreed. While I don’t think tech is horrible in every way, I do believe people are over reliant on their phones when they really shouldn’t be. This is coming from someone who hides their screen time report to avoid shame, so I’m not guiltless in this either.

We are more connected to farther away things while becoming more and more isolated from the things near us. I know people more passionate and informed over issues in a different country than their own local city’s.

This shit happened to me after Hurricane Ivan (2004), nothing new here.

Had just moved here and lived in a house with 4 other guys. 3 of them stayed, or came back, after the storm. We spent 3 wonderful days bullshitting on the porch and otherwise fucking around. My gf came over and we laid on the roof and marveled at the sudden appearance of stars.

The second the power came on those dudes scattered like cockroaches, everyone straight back to their room.

Yeah, people were always horrible, technology just allows them to live their worst life, this story, if real, is a perfect example.

Usually a game where everything you need to play fits on an index card.

Check out Honey Heist for a good example

G.U.R.P.S. and T.W.E.R.P.S. are the two that I’m pretty sure are still around since the 90s

Anon realizes why you don’t usually invite your family to stay with you for a few weeks.
