Before the Internet

[[An adult and a child are standing around, looking at cellphones.]] Child: Do you remember before the internet? Adult: Oh yeah, totally. [[The two look towards each other, no longer actively looking at their phones.]] Child: What was it like? Adult: Not having a phone or computer to distract you? Child: Yeah. [[Conversation continues.]] Adult: It was SO. BORING. All the time. I just *sat* there. It was the *worst*. [[Adult goes back to looking at phone.]] Child: But wasn't it, like, more fulfilling? Engaging? Adult: Wasn't worth it. Child: I still get bored. Adult: Not like we did. {{Title text: We watched DAYTIME TV. Do you realize how soul-crushing it was? I'd rather eat an iPad than go back to watching daytime TV.}}
