  1. #ImNotSayingImOldBut I remember the brief era between Blackberries and smartphones when, for a lot of money, you could buy a cell phone with a little slide-out keyboard with actual buttons. It could connect to the internet, but doing so cost 25 cents a minute, the screen was tiny and all websites were only built for desktop views, and there were no apps.

    I also remember the first ads for Android smartphones.

  3. #ImNotSayingImOldBut when I was a kid, a fun thing to do on a Friday night was go to Blockbuster and rent a couple of VHS tapes to watch over the weekend

  4. #ImNotSayingImOldBut I casually mentioned $6 happy hour specials to someone I know who's Gen Z (and like me is #CovidCautious), and they looked shocked.

    "You remember, before the pandemic," I said.

    They shook their head and said, "I turned 21 after the pandemic started. I've never been to a happy hour."

    After a bit of an awkward pause, they asked, "Was it nice, being able to go out for drinks for cheap without worrying about covid?"

    I replied, "Yeah, it was nice. Things weren't perfect and a lot of the problems we have now were festering, but in the moment, it was nice."
