Social At Your Front Door?
This photo reminds me of a realization I had last night, while watching Hot Tub Time Machine ...
In the movie, while the group was at a Posion concert (the time machine sent them back to '86 - in fact, the year I was born) and their conversation was as follows:
Jacob: I'm kinda right in the middle of a thing right now, but can I text you later?
Girl at Club: Can you what?
Jacob: Are you online at all?
Girl at Club: I have no idea what you're talking about.
Jacob: How do I get a hold of you?
Girl at Club: You come find me.
Jacob: That sounds... exhausting.
So, was it exhausting, or more exciting? To not be uber-connected and rely on a "sup" text a few hours later?
Sure, you can blame this on my "millennial" nature, where I've had a cell phone since I was 15, and a computer in my room since I was 14 (explains the dork factor). But I've always had the Internet (AIM, facebook, etc) as a way to stay in touch (or find people) after I met them.
Bottom line: love the fact that hot tub time machine is social commentary
