Remember when you had to rewind your favorite song with a pencil, or when family photo albums were actual albums and not just a camera roll? Times have changed - and so have our habits.
This “Then Vs Now” poll is a trip down memory lane mixed with a look at how we live today. For each question, you’ll pick which version you think is better: the good old days or our tech-filled present.
Some choices will be easy, others might surprise you, and a few might make you realize… maybe the old way wasn’t so bad after all.

After A Stressful Week, There Are So Many Options Available For A Relaxing And Fun Movie Night.
StrangeOne 3 months ago
I have my own video store lol. There's no option for that. I used to love going to the video store. I personally find myself scrolling way too long, or unable to find the type of movies I'm looking for. Rom coms and comedies lately have either been uncomfortably raunchy to watch with family, or not funny at all. Everything else is thrillers, suspense and action movies, which is not what I want to watch to relax. Usually I settle for the latest Dreamworks movies because I just can't with Disney anymore. I'll still watch older Disney movies, before they went off the deep end. Thank goodness for the thrift store I work at. I can find loads of old 80s, 90s and 2000s favourites. Even some TCM movies that we've enjoyed. The only thing I've subscribed to watch on Netflix is The Crown.

It’s Finally Time To Start Watching That Series You’ve Been Putting Off.
Kira Okah 3 months ago
Neither? I don't watch them all spaced out, but never all at once either. I'm usually working at the same time, so a few episodes will do. S/n: I have not watched a series in any sense of recent memory that is less than 12 episodes/season, so I can't comment on any of these bitesize series.

Would love to know the demographics of typical BP commenters. I'm guessing most of us are over the age of ... 40?

I don't retake them. I just take a couple and move on. But I do get my favourites printed by professionals because photos done that way LAST.

What do you think ?

Why did you limit the choices the way you did. Most of these questions had several other options than the ones we were given.
Bill Swallow 3 months ago
There's an unstated assumption on these things, "If you were limited to these choices, which one would you choose?" No question about it, the choices are poorly selected, most likely to make it easy for them to come up with pithy-sounding, completely inaccurate conclusions when you're done with the test.

Probably half the people here have not experienced the “olden days” options of life before internet and mobile phones. Some things are easier now, but these days I feel like I have a 20 step authentication thing I have to go through just to do anything online. I do still write myself notes with pen and paper though.
