What’s a "pre-smartphone" habit you actually miss? (lemmy.world)

I was thinking about how much the world has changed since I was a kid. I kind of miss the days when you actually had to wait to see someone to tell them a story, or when getting a CD was a huge event. What’s something 'old school' you wish hadn't disappeared?

Same here. I feel like as a kid, I could just sit and draw for hours without a single notification or distraction. Everything felt so much more focused back then, life was definitely a lot simpler when our biggest worry was what was for lunch or playing outside until the streetlights came on.
