College Student Texts His Mother About How She Survived Her Own College Experience Without E-mail, The Internet & Smartphones
These text messages will have you in hysterics as you see how Gen Z struggles to comprehend a world without the internet at their fingertips.
College life looks very different depending on when you went through it, and this text exchange makes that gap impossible to miss.
A college student asked his mother how she managed without email, the internet, or smartphones, and her answer quickly turned into a funny reminder of how much effort everyday tasks used to take.
Her reply is simple, practical, and a little unbelievable by modern standards.
He began his text:
His mother explained that you had to actually walk over to the room...
...and use a pen...
That was already sounding like a lot of work.
...or look out for a noticeboard...
...and then some more walking...
And the process still was not over.
It also reminds me of a student refusing to let parents move into their dorm as an Airbnb.
and even *horror* use the phone!
