    Wait until you learn about “libraries.”

    They’re what we used before everyone had the worlds store of knowledge in their pocket.

      Yeah, lemme just put on a coat and walk an hour and a half in winter weather to my local library to find a book to tell me how to replace my car’s starter motor.

      Can’t get ahold of your friend in Europe and you’re from the US? Just wait until you learn about “handwriting a letter and waiting weeks/months for it to get to them and having to wait even longer for a reply”

      It’s what we used to do before everyone found a much faster and more convenient way of doing something through modern technology.

        And I’m not sure the instant communication has been a benefit for us.

        edit: especially when it becomes more and more misinformation and AI slop day by day
