It is a fact that the Internet and technology have revolutionized the world. They simplified the work, gave us speed, accessibility, and even facilitated communication with our friends, companions and family. However, while there are a number of benefits that come from these innovations, thinking about how they also reconfigured our social interactions makes us a little nostalgic for the time when things weren’t so fast and liquid.
We studied through books; we needed to talk in person to break the relationship, and also to start one; our circle of friends was not organized by video call… Do you remember that?
With this nostalgic feeling, we, from awesome.club🇧🇷 we decided to show in comics, some of the good things we were doing before new technologies (which make our lives so much easier) existed.
1. Our affection and affection were always shown physically and with a lot of passion
Now they can be propagated via social networks (and they don’t always convey the same emotion)
2. When meeting friends, we were the protagonists
Today, the main thing is to post every detail (and without realizing it, we became supporting actors in these meetings)
3. Our priority was tasting, and food was savored before anything else
Currently, the first thing we do is eat them with our eyes, giving preference to photography and not tasting them right away.
4. We were our children’s main source of knowledge
These days, we have been replaced by the speed and efficiency of technology.
5. The flirts were live, and it was conquered in the “eye to eye”
Now the “match” is the simplest way to chat (and when the physical encounter happens, expectations are not always met)
6. It was necessary to conduct thorough investigations (through informants who knew your crush) to find out information about him
These days, everything is on social media profiles, just one click to find
7. Recipes became hereditary through the family notebook (and the seasoning combination was unique)
At present, we have countless recipes on the Internet, where the singularity of the family seasoning is no longer followed.
8. Video Game consoles were shared by everyone (and the disputes were exciting)
Nowadays, to play, it is not necessary for friends to be together, so there is no euphoria of physical contact after a hard victory
9. The shows were recorded only in our memory
At the moment, our priority is to record for the “stories” (so we don’t always enjoy presentations in their entirety)
10. Letters assumed the role of eternalizing a message of love that could be physically kept for the rest of our lives
Today, our statements are fast and liquid, and disappear in a screen scroll
11. We saw and shared with the whole family the developed photographs of when we were children
Nowadays, it is common for photos to be all in smartphone albums, where they cannot be physically touched.
12. For the right to want privacy: one day it was possible for us to disappear into solitude without anyone worrying
Currently, it is unlikely that we will be able to disconnect from the real world, as the means of contact are quick to find us, and to remind us of the 1001 things to do.
