In A Time When…

Daily writing prompt
Do you remember life before the internet?

In a time when attention spans are shorter than Jason Statham’s hair.

In a time when rudeness is as common as a WordPress glitch.

In a time when no one remembers…

One Gorilla Does.

He remembers when a phone was just…

A phone.

He remembers when the cars were fast, and the women…

Were faster.

He remembers when music was loud, rude and…

Dangerous.

He remembers when the movies were testosterone-laden, action packed orgies of blood and guts…

And had a plot.

Sometimes.

Yes, he remembers. And even though he knows this is WordPress’ way of saying “Are you old?”, he doesn’t care.

He will indulge your questions, he will embrace technology, but in the back of his mind, three words are always there. Always reminding him.

“I’ll be back.”

Now, y’all go listen to Van Halen’s 1984 album and rock the fuck on.

Have a great day, everyone!

  3. You got it right 😎 I still have a phone like that at home 😁

    Life before the Internet was good, we had to look up information in a library or bookshop, cars didn’t need software updates πŸ˜‚ Phone calls had to be made in a phone booth.

    We didn’t have the world in one hand, but guess what, people actually talked and listened to each other without electronic distractions. And people looked at you when passing in the street, instead of a screen. Ranting out πŸ˜‰

      I am grateful for tech, but it has definitely shown a lot of cons to go with the pros at times.
