I Miss The Early Days of Social Media

If in 1998 you had told me that I would fondly look back on the screeching sound of dial-up internet, I would have laughed at you.

Okay, so maybe I don’t miss the sound. Or the length of time it often took to visit various web pages.

But man, those were the days.

Back then, if you wanted to talk about politics, you could frequent political-based chatrooms and message boards.

You could make an online friend who say, liked the same music as you did. Or movies. Or fashion.
