    Conversations without someone pulling out their phone or checking notifications on their watch.

    Also, not knowing something. Pete Homes has this joke about before the Internet there was not knowing something. You just wouldn’t know where Tom Petty was from. You’d go around asking people if they knew. Finally, a woman tells you and that’s how you meet your wife.

    I kinda like the idea of it just being okay to not know something but the ADHD in me is screaming.

      You’re absolutely right, but that’s the pre-smartphone era, not the pre-cellphone era.
