Ya know what you don't really see anymore? People talking about how things used to be different.
When I was a kid, there used to be all KINDS of people talking about how stuff was in the old days. And they could really talk about it. Convincingly. I mean, my grandfather used to talk about the days before there were planes or telephones! And how horses pulled carts around! And telegrams! Now that's really talking about things you increasingly don't see anymore. You just don't see that anymore. Increasingly.
Not like nowadays. Folks these days just don't seem to talk about how things are different these days like they used to. They try sort of half-heartedly, perfunctorily naming things that weren't really that different from shit we still have today. Or talking about some old computer games they had when they were kids and how cool they were. But nobody really cares, or puts the enegy into it like they used to.
But I'm not worried. 'Cause I know it probably won't be that long before people will once again talk about things they increasingly don't see anymore with some real gusto. They'll be reminiscing about when there used to be cars - any cars. And how there was weird shit like "microwavable dinners", or "supermarkets". Then the talking about how things used to be different will be convincing again, like it was in the old days. It's gonna be a revival, I tell ye.
Now get off my fucking lawn.
