It's true. Try hanging out somewhere outside your house with no modern technology for two hours.

First you'll realize how long time feels without a smartphone or instant entertainment.

The second thing you'll realize is how hard it is to keep track of time without a wristwatch.

People socialized more in person because there wasn't much else to do and it was the best way to do so.
