I hit 1993 and David Letterman came on and I’m awash in nostalgia for what seems like such a simpler, happier time. People liked each other. They could concentrate longer than three seconds. Dave and Paul are genuinely laughing and everything is all right.

What a fantastic website.

This entirely depends on when you were born.

For older people, the 50s and 60s were that. For others slightly older than you, the 80s were that.

For people younger than you, the 2000s were great!

Not to go off on a tangent, but I’m not sure that’s entirely true.

To me, everything changed with the internet, and especially with smart phones + social media.

I was an adult for a period before all of this, and definitely still feel those were much “simpler times” vs. when all these things came about.

Information spreading literally at the speed of light has changed everything. And not all for the worse, but it’s definitely been a double-edged sword.
