Kids deserve space to make stupid mistakes as they grow up. I’m glad I could do so in an analog world, so that my mistakes don’t follow me around forever.

Yep.

I won’t lie and say that I wouldn’t use the tech if it was available, I am just glad it wasn’t.

Not at all. That time of my life sucked and this would have been a good way to cope. Instead I was sent to my first in patient mental institution at 17.

Yep

Without the tech there was focus. You had to do some proof of work in the real world to earn your Dopamine hits. Grass was touched. +1 for the olden days.

No doubt

In person connection was there, or there was loneliness.
