Those were the simpler times when even though people didn't know about everything happening around them, there was more sense of peace and harmony. People loved meeting each other in person and having deep conversations. There was no hurry to be the first to put pictures on social media or check reviews before going somewhere. They relaxed and did things on their own time. These are some of the many things people miss when asked to remember life pre-internet.
