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?

I specifically don't tell stories much via text or social media for that very reason. I find it much more interesting to tell the story in person. And sometimes I don't tell the story - not a big deal, either.
