The internet and Web2.0 tools have come so far in the past 25 years (around the time I started using these tools in middle school). I remember putting an Oregon Trail floppy disk into an Apple Computer and instantly begin playing the game. (Man, the game was great, wasn't?) I seemed to always die from dysentery though 😂.
But before computers became available to the general public, we still had ways of connecting. I love this meme because it highlights the human need to organize our thoughts and ideas into different areas of the brain. The brain loves patterns and routines. Social Media has helped a lot with this process, but has it ended up hurting us or helping. Procrastination and information overload often happen with social media. I know it does for me!
Here's a link to an article about ways to organize your brain to increase your productivity.
Now back to the original meme about vintage social media. Some individuals refuse to use some or even all of the Web 2.0 world to help with organization. I just recently did away with a paper calendar. I had to spend a year or so writing dates in both the calendar and my google calendar to make sure I wasn't missing anything. And of course we know that calling people for a chat can sometimes be so much easier than a video chat. I seem to use this type of call (no video/no texting) with older family members.
Are there any things you have decided to keep vintage in your day to day life?
