“Why don’t you send it over on a dinosaur?”
Hm, just a moment, I’ll put my telephone handset into the acoustic coupler real quick so I can post my contact on the bbs

Do young people not using phone numbers for this today??? Those pre-date e-mails for many, many years…
The communication dynamics of kids are weird. Weirder than I remember anyway. My teenager knows other kids who literally will not talk to you if you’re not on Snapchat or Instagram. For whatever reason they simply refuse to text.
My kid spends an absurd amount of time taking pictures of half her face to send snaps with.
I think if you don’t want to text or call me, then you don’t want to talk to me that bad.
Communication has become reactive instead of proactive.
I’ve never heard it put that way before but I think you might be on to something.
what exactly do you mean by that? isn’t communication always about reacting to each other?
Ive chatted with people before who exclusively talked on snapchat even after getting their number. Its strange to me. Ive since deleted snapchat and have texted a couple of these people with no response. Im getting too old.
No they use Instagram.
Gross
Or Snapchat, or some other young people thing
MySpace?
Geocities?
IRC
NNTP
Hi5
But Instagram is so much less efficient than just texting.
Is it? It allows both to check out each other out a bit before committing to a date.
??? Who said anything about dating?
It’s just funny because people who prefer to communicate through email seem more geriatric than people who prefer to communicate by phone
For real this just makes the 23 year old seem inept. I don’t get this meme
Can I get your ICQ number?
Still remember mine but no way to get back in.
Although I guess it does t matter at all anymore.
It’s down and there is/was a new ICQ that works with your phone number. Your ICQ number is worthless and, yes, I too remember mine
How many digits?
9, you?
I had an 8 digit, lost the password, had to sign up again and got a 9 digit number that time. Felt weird.
I had two, both 8 digits. Still remember them both. Seems like I was able to sign on with them until a few months ago, but it may have been a few years ago.
Was actually able to log in with one of my old accounts today. Found an app called Mandarin IM on F-Droid that worked with it.
7 digits represent.

My Nephew: “What’s a fax machine?”
Me: “A landline network of low quality printers people used to use to do invoices and file for divorce.”
My Nephew: “Landline?”
