How long have I been on GS??

I think we're truly privileged to be able to look back at things like this, no other generation has been able to.

People kept diaries. They'd write down their thoughts on paper using a pen. While they had no search function, they could go back and see what they wrote.

Diaries are really useful, you can see just how stupid you were in the past, write down your current most profound thoughts, and know that a few years later in life you will be able to see how stupid you are today!
