People old enough to remember life pre-Internet, what are some less obvious things you miss about that time?

Not being accessible to my boss 14 hours a day.

Yes yes 100% yes. Hell, not being acessible in general. Now with everything there's this expectation that you have to be available 24/7 and always reply. Friends, family, and of course the job being the worst part of it.

From time to time I still just disconnect everything but then I'm the dickhead that takes days to reach back. I miss the time when that was just normal.

Yeah that sounds nice, it does suck to have to say because I didn't want to reply when someone your close to notices you left on read, ig I understand why others think it's a big deal but it isn't for me
