Flashback to Summer 2002...

So, last month I was texting a friend about the time that we were roommates back in the summer of 2002, and I had a flashback to what life was like back then:

1) VCR tapes were around (since DVD was just beginning).

2) Cell phones were just starting to get used in a big way.

3) Blogs were odd and new and only strange people did them (e.g. Diabolique, which isn't even accessible on the web anymore).

4) People were just starting to digest and talk about September 11th.

How far away that seems.

People ran into each other instead of being hyperconnected, and there was more mental space to chill and just let things happen.
