'It was easier. You don't have to be old to understand what cellphone cameras and instant internet does is put everyone on edge. Where you use to have fun private moments with friends, the possibility of being filmed and that moment living forever just does not appeal to people. Even though they had the internet, they knew to keep their real names off of it. People today blend their internet personas so tightly with their real life, that they become parodies. Social media is like the ultimate MMO. You get fame points for your
internet character, but that only applies to people who play that game.

What people these days do is basically give up the ability to hold on to memories, and they source it to some internet profile for public use. Social media users are the awkward, dorkie, weirdo, phoney, superficial people who are basically addicted to the internet. Their type only thrives on the internet, but fails to impress people in real life. People who can't put their phones down and just live in the moment. They need validation, and they're debilitated, even dismayed at their internet personas being tied to their real life status. Again everyone in the 90's and even 2000 did not mix the two. People sold out their social lives to social media websites, and they themselves are the content of their own embarrassment and inability to let go and live in the moment.'

 >what was politics during this time.

It was considered to be C-SPAN tier boredom. Most people cared very little for it, and just glossed over it on the news or in the opinion section of the newspaper. There of course were religious, philosophical, and world event discussions, but it was often for the sake of discussion and not something to kill each other over.

>How did people act.
People were generally gregarious. Friends and family visited each other regularly. Guys asked girls to go out over the phone or in person. It wasn't the norm to be standoffish and hostile toward others like it is today. Things were often forgiven, unlike today where it's "cut that person out of your life forever."
