Remember, if you're out and you're trying to meet somebody and they're going to meet you and then they don't show up and you want to figure out where they are, you'd go to a pay phone, put a quarter in it, call your phone, and then put your code in and check your answering machine or your voicemail from the mall.

And then they'd leave a message on your answering machine to tell you, hey, sorry, I'm going to be a little late.

And then you hang up and it costs you a quarter.

Yeah, that's how crazy everything's changed in such a small amount of time.

Yeah.

No, I was thinking about like how when I was a kid, you know, we would be able to very easily manipulate, you know, the situation with my parents and say, OK, I'm going over.

Go drinking and skateboarding all night.

Yeah.

No, that was better like that, you know.

And we're not going to be able to really get rid of it now, too.

That's the thing.

There's no way this is going to turn back.

No one's ever going to decide this has gone too far.

It's just going to keep escalating and getting worse.

And my eyes are getting bad because I'm sticking.

I find myself addicted to the phone as much as I know that it's happening.

I'll get on that tick tock and I just start scrolling through stuff.

And then, oh, shit, like two hours just went by.

My eyes are getting blurry and it's really kind of starting to.

It's useless.
