[[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.}}
