Comic Strips

As someone who was definitely born with internet being a standard in my house and school as a child, this is sad. I loved going to the library every week with my dad and older sister, and we both loved encyclopedias and non-fiction books about animals and stuff. Recently I had to use my college library for a practice exercise for my Eng class and once we learned the system they use (it's not Dewey Decimal), my partner and I had a blast looking for books for our papers. It was fun, honestly. It really made me realize that sometimes the internet is less efficient for finding quality and trusted information rather than perusing the library catalogue (which I can do online too obvs).

Libraries, man, don't let the concept die.

I definitely notice that wonder has died with a lot of people. Luckily I try to be a luddite and enjoy life without tech as well as with. Still have tons of books. Shut the internet off every so often.

life in 2025 💥😵‍💫😵💀👻🔁

I had my own head to reach wrong, and life-destroying conclussions with. No AI to break me out at the time.

I was watching an old movie last night and there were short references to odd things like one was a book from the 1890s.

When I saw the movie for the first time back in the 1980s I probably had no idea why the book was referenced and would have assumed it was made up as filler.

Now, armed with the internet, I can look it up and immediately understand that the script was still trash.

I know too many people who do the same thing despite having smartphones.
