Welcome to Retrospec™, the last social media network you will ever need. You are one of the few selected to test this exciting new platform based on our cutting-edge algorithms. Less than two hundred invitations have gone out, and membership is not currently open to the public. However, we hope you will come to see how useful Retrospec™ is, given time. We have for your use a variety of features such as text, voice, video, and image posts. We encourage you to explore our many options.

Please feel free to use this post as a network mingle. Every toplevel can be considered a new post, and threadjacking is permitted. No NPC response will be given. As a reminder, everything besides uploading a profile picture and information was locked until this post. Usernames are the character's full real AU names, not aliases or chosen nicknames or usernames, and seemed to have filled themselves in; nothing characters do can change or obscure their names currently. Oddly, profile pictures still cannot be swapped out at this time, so hopefully you took a good one.

Ana Amari You can't make the children put their phones away. It would be better to instruct them on how to safely use them.

They could always not have phones, period.
That was an option once upon a time.
Now they have a screen to poke at before they even know how to call people.
Not that anyone calls anymore anyway.


[ HO BOY. here he goes, on one of his old man rants. stop him, Ana. please. ]

Phones were also a lot less useful once upon a time.
Yes, they could make phone calls; but could they store notes and memos, provide navigation, and incorporate other useful utilities on a whim?
We can't expect our children to stay oblivious to technology.

I think phones worked fine when they were just that.
Phones.
Not a GPS device or a music player.
Just a phone.
But I know what time we're in and that we aren't moving backwards anytime soon.
Can still dream every now and again, though. Helps my blood pressure.
