People from the time before the internet always talk about how great that time was. They’re lying. Some things were exactly the same: there was love and war, and people pushed doors clearly marked “pull”, especially if someone was watching. But we had to bear these experiences without a tool to ferret out as much information as possible about anything or anyone at any time.
