      You miss your life from when the app was popular. Like all nostalgia, we don’t miss the product or game or app itself, we miss who we were and how things seemed simpler.

        No… Things literally were simpler back then as information moved a lot slower and the internet was far less privatised, if at all.

        Your chat logs were saved to your own local drive, not a cloud, and you could delete them. Social media was just your web page you made for free on Geocities or Angelfire. Email spam was mostly chain mail. There were no bots whatsoever cluttering the internet. And so on.

        And, FWIW, there were no such things as apps. Just programs. Apps started with the smart phone.
