@Sophie I miss the old days when stuff came with real print manuals. I have a calculator at home that is smaller than the manual that it shipped with.

@Sophie I remember when, years ago, I was with a group of friends and we were assembling or setting up something and I pulled out the instruction manual and began reading it. A friend said, "Why are you looking at the instructions, you're so smart." My response was, "I appear so smart because I read the instructions."

@Sophie I long for the days of documentation and not a QR code to a youtube video on how to use something.

@Sophie I've seen so many people on YouTube and things who take pride in not reading manuals. I don't get it.
