Before there was Facebook..

I guess I could start with the title.

 Before there was Facebook..

1. People meet people (in person)
    Lots of people do meet eye-to-eye and get to talk, real talk, with the other person. Sure, yeah, you get to meet more people in Facebook but seriously, how many of them have you had a good chat online?

2. Spoken words and body language were used more often
    The mouth was undoubtedly needed in conversations for people to express themselves. Also, looking at another person's body language allowed people to really know what a person is saying. Can you tell if a person is really okay just by the person's status in Facebook as "I'm okay" ?

3. It was noisier
    An after-effect of no.2, yes, there were much more noise in cafes and restaurants than the predominant click-clicking nowadays.

4. Photos were printed
    Photo album sales must be non-existent now, if not really low . You would take a photo to be printed or shown to other people when you meet but now all they have to do is find it in your Facebook wall.

5. The only time you see a thumbs-up is when you form it using a hand
    Thumbs-up still had the same meaning then and now but it must be one of the biggest trademark of Facebook that even surpassed the social network. Ate at McDonalds.. Like! Going trekking.. Like! Had a leg injury :(... Like!

6. It was harder to stalk someone
   Pro or con, it was harder to track a person's activities without Facebook, or any social media. Given, of course, the person do post his/her activities in Facebook. Now, you don't have to hire a Private investigator, you can do all the snooping yourself.
