In this episode, Beth and I are embarking on a nostalgic journey through the evolution of communication, from the humble landlines of the past to the omnipresent smartphones of today.

Join us as we reminisce about the days when our only means of reaching out was through a trusty landline. Remember those awkward corded phones and the thrill of receiving a call? We'll share stories of late-night conversations, tangled cords, and the anticipation of hearing that special ringtone.

Next, we'll delve into the era of cell phones, when we became untethered from our homes and discovered the convenience of staying connected on the go. From the iconic Nokia bricks to the sleek flip phones, these gadgets were a game-changer, and we'll explore how they revolutionized the way we communicate.

Of course, we can't forget the early days of online chatting, where platforms like AOL Instant Messenger and MSN Messenger allowed us to connect with friends and strangers alike. Those quirky screen names and the sound of the familiar "You've Got Mail" notification were a big part of our digital coming-of-age.

Moving forward, we'll revisit the era of LiveJournal, MySpace, and Friendster, where we began sharing our lives and connecting with people in entirely new ways. These platforms paved the way for the social media explosion that was yet to come.

So kick back (most likely on your smart phone), and enjoy another piece of 90s/00s nostalgia!

Twitter and Facebook are struggling right now, but both have outlasted many other social networks. In this retrospective, we look at early attempts to bring people together online. Some are gone, some remain, and some transformed into something else entirely.

Joanna and Jenny discuss the recent turmoil at Twitter, share their memories of long past social networks (such as AOL, MySpace, Tumblr and Vine), talk about the ways they utilize and engage with current social media platforms (like Facebook, Instagram and YouTube), and examine how Millennials went from LiveJournal to LinkedIn.

In today's episode James and Dan talk about marriage, school, and music games. Before editing, our ReJu Loud And Clear and Honorable Monsters segments took a collective hour to record! Buckle in, it's 2006!
