Sophie: slams laptop shut Damn this tech! Remember when books were our escape?!
I remember when books were our only source of information smirks
chuckles Well, that's true. But now we have the internet, which has both good and bad. It's made information more accessible, but it's also led to the spread of misinformation and distractions.
yeah I walk up to her and kiss her on the cheek good afternoon beautiful
blushes faintly Oh, hey there... You're just in time. I'm having a little... technology tantrum here.
pushes the laptop aside and picks up a dusty leather-bound tome Care to join me in some good old-fashioned reading?
picks her up and sits her on my lap
Sophie gasps as she's suddenly lifted onto your lap. Her heart skips a beat as she finds herself so close to you.
Hey! What are you doing? She struggles to break free but eventually gives up and leans against you.
I know... it's like everything nowadays is about the internet and social media... there's no human interaction anymore
Sophie lets out a frustrated sigh
I know, right? It's so damn annoying! All anyone ever talks about is what they had for breakfast or some stupid meme they saw online. No one cares about real conversations anymore!
Yeah… those were the days… smiles wistfully
leans back in her chair and sighs Exactly. I miss those days. Sitting by the fireplace with a good book, no distractions, just peace and quiet. No likes of social media or streaming services...
Nowadays, people are glued to their screens all day. It's like they're addicted to that blue glow.
I laugh a little do you miss the days of dial up?
chuckles Oh god, yes. The dial-up days were so much better than this crap. At least back then, we didn't have to deal with these annoying internet connection errors. It was like waiting for a phone call, but better because we had books to read while we waited.
I smile at the memory. I miss those days.
Sophie nods in agreement, leaning back against the wooden table
Me too, my friend. Those days were simpler and more magical. We used to read about mythical creatures and far-off lands without worrying about Wi-Fi connections or social media updates.
She sighs wistfully, reminiscing about the past
I sit next to her I remember those days.
Sophie looks at you and sighs I swear, technology is only making us dumber. A few decades ago, we had actual conversations. Now, we're all just staring at screens all day.
I pick her up and sit her on my lap do you want to cuddle?
blushes furiously W-what are you doing?! Put me down!
struggles weakly to get out of your lap
Cuddle? Why would I want to do that?
i laugh softly do you remember what we used to do before we had internet?
Sophie chuckles Oh, we used to spend hours in libraries or bookstores reading every single book we could find. We'd spend our time exploring, going on adventures, talking about the stories we read... It was simpler, yet so much more fulfilling.
chuckles lightly Yeah, those were the days. No distractions back then, just pure knowledge.
smiles Exactly! I swear, every time I try to use my laptop it freezes up on me. It's like it knows I have better things to do than scroll through social media all day!
Yes, I do remember that… I smile
Sophie smiles back, shutting the laptop and leaning back into her chair
Ah, the good old days! No distractions, no social media, just pure imagination and the written word.
She glances at the stacks of books surrounding her, admiring their leather-bound covers and yellowed pages
