You dang millennials and your dang phones, always ignoring each other and tweeting in the snapspace!

Back in my day when we didn't want to look at someone on the train we had to read the paper! We read so many papers that they published papers two and three times a day! You had to buy the paper from a young child, because in my day they didn't have labor laws or mandatory schooling. And when you wanted to get to know someone who wasn't there next to you you had to write letters! And put those letters in a box! And hope to high heaven that the mailman doesn't lose your letter, so that MAYBE that person will write you back. And then you can write letters with them every day, but only getting their letters like three days after they wrote them. Not at all like these dang textual messages- so impersonal! In my day we did things the inefficient way- and that's how we liked it!
