I miss being able to phone any compny, organisation or doctor's etc and getting straight throughto a human, rather than automated multiple menus and then put on hold for ages.

[@troywahlbrink8842]

That's been gone for twenty years. Even, maybe some Millennials miss it too. I like being able to prank call people and them having no clue it was. Oh yeah, do people still t.p. houses or do just do it virtually on an iPad?

[@tytn9978]

Ditto! I have to prep myself ahead of time to be ready to leave a message; if i don't, I am tongue-tied. And usually my "reason for calling" is not "answered" by the auto-voice, so I am no further ahead after wasting all that time listening to a recorded message, with a series of choices! AAAAAAARGH!!!

I miss youth, innocence and wonder about the world

[@breng5767]

I miss the innocence of my youth and finding things to do outside to occupy my time during summer school breaks. Climbing trees, riding bikes, playing whiffle ball, roller skating. I may sound like a boy but I'm not. It was just more fun to do boy things than play with dolls. lol.

[@jrnfw4060]

The term for that was "Tomboy", and most girls outgrew it when they entered their teens. Very few if any parents worried about it.

[@csnymoodiesfan]

I think I grew up in the best era. There’s nothing that compares to the music of the 60’s and 70’s. There was also a lot more freedom to play outside without worries of evil people.

[@jrnfw4060]

@@troywahlbrink8842 I fervently hope so! Maybe we can get rid of so much of this addictive, expensive and unnecessary technology and go back to pride in independent living. We did just fine before we had computers, smart phones, AI, digital this and digital that, especially in our automobiles, which were a lot simpler to drive. These things haven't improved our lives that much, with a few exceptions. There were abuses in the past, but today's technology (with which our morality hasn't caught up) offers opportunities for much worse and much more prevalent abuses. I'm thinking internet, mainly, where people can hide anonymously behind a screen and bully people all over the world, steal identities much more easily, spy on regular people in ways the government and even average folks previously couldn't, and use texting to communicate instead of a personal phone call or in-person conversation -- today, we carry on whole conversations by texting, even on dates when two people are together and are supposed to talk to each other directly. I would like to see most of that go away. Not all, as some of it really is useful and actually needed. AND, we need for our morality to catch up to some of these advances so that they're used in good ways and not just as newer means of harming people. Finally, it's the addictiveness of so much of this stuff that makes people way too dependent upon it. Hours and hours spent playing video games instead of going outside and playing with live friends or being among nature and breathing fresh air. We're missing so much, today, because we're hooked on technology. Our world today is corrupt beyond measure! I predict that will change radically in the not-so-distant future. It has to. What's going on today is unsustainable.

Sitting on the grass at the park with friends, and breaking the popsicle in half then handing half to a friend and eating it slowly while it melted and dripped down your now sticky hand. Comic books and flashlights and sleepovers in a tent in the backyard. The list of innocent fun is limitless
