Pre-Internet Life Drew Fond Memories in X Thread

Nandi asked on X whether life was better before the internet or if people simply miss those times. Several users replied that it was better. One described playing outside without worries until streetlights came on, riding bikes, rollerblading, and creating corner stores with friends. Another called the early 2000s the sweet spot for balancing technology and in-person interaction. Others stated that people lacked constant hyperreality feedback loops, had to live the era to comment on it, and simply affirmed the improvement with no further detail.
