Know Thyself through the Out Dated
If asked is there something that is now considered ‘Old Fashioned’ that I prefer to the current replacement, there would be many, but the one that jumps into my mind are Photo Albums.
Photo Albums are so much better than being flashed pictures on someone else’s device. You have to sit clumped together and be happily barraged with inevitable finger pointing, questions, stories, and memories. Pictures can be physically handed from one person to another, put in frames, or stuck in the corner of mirrors and car visors.
Maybe its just me, but any joy that is felt when someone shows me a picture on a little screen for a nano second is inescapably replaced with annoyance while I watch you flick up and down through hundreds of photos and dozens of strings while endlessly apologizing. I’d prefer to discuss past happenings found important enough to document while making eye contact, rather than staring at the top of your head while you scroll on your device saying things like ‘I just saw it yesterday’, ‘who sent that to me again?’, and my favorite, ‘I can’t find it, but anyways….’
