What’s a "pre-smartphone" habit you actually miss? (lemmy.world)

I was thinking about how much the world has changed since I was a kid. I kind of miss the days when you actually had to wait to see someone to tell them a story, or when getting a CD was a huge event. What’s something 'old school' you wish hadn't disappeared?

I would say what I miss most is going to rent a movie with my parents on Fridays and Saturdays.

It really was a great way to be together as a family on the weekend.

I regret that I won't be able to share that with my own children.
