    Not being in constant contact with everyone you know, and not having a neverending stream of notifications assaulting you via your phone.

    When you got to see relatives who lived far away, you talked about what had been going on in their life because you probably had no idea.

    You read, listened to, or watched the news when you wanted to, unless someone you know told you sooner.

    If you had to wait somewhere without a book or magazine, you just sat there with your thoughts. During childhood, you learned how to be bored and practice imagining things.
