Re: Your life hacks?

[(Anonymous)]

You must be very young to assume that people were so helpless and isolated before the internet. It's kind of funny, really! But since I'm old enough to remember those ancient times, I'll clue you in: you did not have to go all the way to the store to "purchase magazines dedicated to that kind of thing". (LOL!) Such tips could be found in the newspaper, which is where most people got their news before the internet was created. Newspapers were about as accessible to the average person back then as Facebook is to you today. Perhaps more so, because a subscription (or the odd paper) was far, far cheaper than buying a computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone and then paying for internet access.

Yes, media has changed. Yes, information is now far easier to access and distribute. But don't forget that back then, what seems like an insurmountable obstacle to you such as purchasing a magazine (LOL again!) was commonplace, and back then, as now, there were places you could go to read such things for free, such as libraries. 20 and 30 somethings weren't less intelligent back then they are today, and having only older media available to them didn't make them uninformed ignoramuses.

But thanks for the entertainment. Sometimes I forget that there are generations who didn't know what life was like before computers and the internet, or how sweetly naive they can be about the prehistoric days. Ha!

Way to be condescending to someone whose age you don't know. I'm going to- perhaps ironically- be the mature one and ignore your tone.

This conversation was about why a new crop of 20-30 somethings are suddenly interested in life hacks when they weren't before, so I was obviously talking about the current generation of teenagers and young people, not their parents. Newspapers and magazines were always around but you overestimate how many people actually read them or were interested in searching through all the sections to read more than the front page news or the funnies, even if every household got them or had subscriptions. Even with a newspaper, you didn't have that sort of thing popping out at you from the front page like you would on a FB feed, and before you accuse me of any more unfounded naivete, yes, I was alive at the time to know.

If there's one thing that hasn't changed across generations, it's that most people are seriously lazy. I said nothing about ignorance, only accessibility.
