Rev. Onan Canobite, SubGenius on Nostr: The advice "stay in touch with the people you knew before smart phones and FaceBook" ...

The advice "stay in touch with the people you knew before smart phones and FaceBook" is increasingly advice that cannot be acted on. Anyone born 1986 / 1987 was around 21 when those two things came into being. Anyone much under forty years old today has no adult-era friends from before smart phones and FaceBook. So - the advice shifts to "make connections with people outside of smart phones and FaceBook." In-person connections and ink-on-paper pen pals are a kind of "underground" now.
