I wish I could have dated in the 1980s---


the plain and simple reason is because it would have been much easier.

The complex reasons lie below-
No cell phones
- no texting
- no reminders no one has called
- no ability to listen to old voicemails that you saved when life was great
- no e-mail directly to your phone
- no facebook mobile
- could add another list when you add the word "drunk" after each no.
No facebook
- no need to broadcast your business to the world (easy to say as I woke up and updated twitter!)
- no need to confirm your relationship and then later break up.
- no need forever a million pictures to follow you through your happiness.
No digital cameras
- one photo is enough, no need for 1 million.

If we dated in the 1980s and you didn't answer the first time I called, well I could go about my business and not care... Unlike now I can continue to wait for you to call me back ( or I can call/text/ email you) as I take care of my business.

I am not writing this because I'm bitter, angry or mad... I'm writing this because at what point is the past the past? Pre-digital era we didn't throw away hard copy pictures, because that's all you had.

When is the right time to clean out the digital photo album?
