    Back in my day we actually would POKE someone in person. Tag was something we did for fun and social media was when you went outside and did something with your friends and had fun doing it.

    Back in my day if we wanted to talk on the phone we were tethered to the wall by a cord.
    Back in my day we pretty much destroyed the ozone layer with our aerosol cans of Aqua Net
    Back in my day the high school had a student smoking area (which baffled me, since you still had to be 18 to buy a pack of cigarettes...only a handful of seniors could legally do so)
