[@you_can_call_me_T]

​@@amuroray9115You were a baby lol. I was actually in high school about this time, and this is what school was like. Of course this was a little more lighthearted being the last day of school. But we actually did have good relationships with our teachers for the most part, especially by the time we were seniors. As long as we acted like young adults, they treated us like it. And our teachers still dressed and acted like professionals (as opposed to teachers wearing t-shirts and jeans to work these days) so the dynamic was just a bit different.

[@MortonLuvz2drum]

We did enjoy teaching in 1999.

[@terri639]

They did enjoy it! But back then, kids were super respectful to teachers. They were told by their parents to respect authority figures. So they did their homework and they weren't assholes. Kids today are assholes. It's poor parenting by GenX. One of my best friends is a teacher and he said the majority of his students are assholes that just refuse to do homework and are disrespectful. So...yeah...how can teachers be expected to love their jobs?

I mean, we were still people in those times, so there was a variety of personalities. And this was the last day of school, so it's pretty laid back. And we had busy days sometimes, with packed schedules and such. But you're right-- we were present and didn't have the added stress and distraction of a cell phone constantly trying to pull us away from the real world. And while we have fewer photos from those times (no camera phones), we have richer and deeper memories, because instead of filming and posting things, we were feeling and fully experiencing them.

As someone who was in high school in the late 90s, people were more social back then. Random people would come up to you and strike up a conversation. You don't really see that nowadays. This is why is seems like everyone knew each other back then.

[@user-le7mh3mb4c]

G L probably because they thought it couldn’t be posted? idk

[@HW-sw5gb]

Well it’s sort of self selecting. People who were awkward probably made sure not to be on camera. Also, they all assumed that only they would ever see it anyway. They might have been more awkward if they knew millions of people were going to eventually see it one day.

[@brianmaduku2759]

I think its because porn wasn't so easily accessible to corrupt their minds back then as it is now, plus no social media so they had more personality

[@Trucosdemundogatu]

I think they were more accostumed to socializing, nowadays technology took that away from us, if someone put a camera in front of me just like that i wouldnt know what to say.

[@six-stringphantom1402]

That's because there wasn't as near as many autistic slow students back then.

[@jopar024]

As someone who graduated in 2002, I truly appreciate this time capsule. It is an important video that illustrates how many technological revolutions we've had in my relatively short lifetime - computing, internet, smart phone and generative AI. It is hard to believe sometimes how different my life was then compared to now. I feel like a dinosaur when my young children ask me questions about my youth.

[@jopar024]

@@HatredInTheFlesh It was a pretty fun time to be honest. It seemed like every day there was a new technological wonder that was fun and interesting to use and we had not yet found ways to hurt people using it. Also, interacting with other people was just the natural state of existence. I feel like it is now less so.

[@Southeren]

I graduated High School in 2005. So I was in middle school in 1999 and even middle school was memorable. Everyone socialized outside between the main building and cafeteria building. High School was the same way. Everyone socializing outside. Yes, there was internet and cell phones when I was in high school but it was no where like it is now. Smartphones hadn't taken over yet and people weren't looking down at their phones unless they were about to call someone. I remember we had to use Ask Jeeves when searching for things. lol The 90s were great as a kid. Overall I think that everyone was much happier and more active back then.

back when being recorded was so rare that if someone put a camera in your face you'd smile and be very nice.

[@ItsYurVatoAlex]

thespawner seriously, back when teachers and other people on campus didn’t mind as much

[@thespawner]

@Ivan Stemberga that's right! In fact, most middle-class households owned a video camera. But they were cumbersome and required cassettes, so people rarely recorded with them unless it was a special occasion. Which is why I said that "being recorded was so rare" :)

I graduated high school in 1995. I miss those days not just because I was young but because people were normal and not so self obsessed like they are today. I have children of my own and hate the world they're growing up in. The world was a much, much better place in the 1990s.
