The author expresses nostalgia for a time when there was a clear distinction between online and offline activities, lamenting the current 'always online' world that cannot function without internet connectivity.
This might sound needlessly convoluted, but I miss when there was a clear divide between being online and offline. When going online was something you had to commit to, like you'd just be writing a Word document or playing a game or whatever offline but would decide"I want to go online now to look something up for my school assignment" and would have to click connect.
I wish people weren't so fragile and easily offended like in good old times. Everyone seemes to be more resilient back in the day.The advent of reliable fast internet gave too much leniency to developers and allowed them to release games at 70% to be fixed at a later date. Visited the last Blockbuster on Earth in Bend, Oregon the other week and had a blast. Granted, we have a local Family Video somewhere in my region but it doesn't compare to familiar bustle of Blockbuster.But if I had to pick one, CDs >>>>>MP3s. When had your cd book in your car, and had a cd in your player...it often kept your place. It was easy to skip around songs as well.
