This photo reminds me of a realization I had last night, while watching Hot Tub Time Machine …
In the movie, while the group was at a Posion concert (the time machine sent them back to '86 – in fact, the year I was born) and their conversation was as follows:
Jacob: I'm kinda right in the middle of a thing right now, but can I text you later?
Girl at Club: Can you what?
Jacob: Are you online at all?
Girl at Club: I have no idea what you're talking about.
Jacob: How do I get a hold of you?
Girl at Club: You come find me.
Jacob: That sounds… exhausting.
Girl at Club: Can you what?
Jacob: Are you online at all?
Girl at Club: I have no idea what you're talking about.
Jacob: How do I get a hold of you?
Girl at Club: You come find me.
Jacob: That sounds… exhausting.
So, was it exhausting, or more exciting? To not be uber-connected and rely on a "sup" text a few hours later?
Sure, you can blame this on my "millennial" nature, where I've had a cell phone since I was 15, and a computer in my room since I was 14 (explains the dork factor). But I've always had the Internet (AIM, facebook, etc) as a way to stay in touch (or find people) after I met them.
Bottom line: love the fact that hot tub time machine is social commentary

what does it say about me if i find talking to boys in an era of texting and emailing exhausting?
I think pursuing members of the opposite sex is exhausting no matter which
way you look @ it.
HAHA Jacob sounds just like @AlexSchaal soooo lazy. His weekend goal is typically eating and showering. http://su.pr/2Bue9g cc: @morficus
Isn't that why girls typically tend to prefer to be pursued?
It's funny how technology changes things.
Back in my day, you had to call a girl at her house to ask her out. Which meant having her mom answer the phone or, worse, her father. The nerves right there were crazy.
Maybe if you were lucky, she had her own phone line. Still, landlines always had the chance that you might have a nosey brother or sister on the other end or a parent hearing you say the stupid things young people say to each other.
Kids these days – cell phones and texts. They have it sooo easy.
