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?

Not having answers to any question available immediately. There's a lot of good in having to think about a problem and reason your way to a possible answer. AI is making the brain drain even worse, and I genuinely worry that people are going to effectively lose the ability to critically think about issues.
