NOSTALGIA IN A MESSAGE

Super handy all those smartphones, really. I can't live without them anymore. I'm addicted. I feel hopeless if I forget my iPhone once or if I'm under ten percent with no charger nearby because holy shit, how am I supposed to check my Insta? Or scroll through Facebook? And what about all those WhatsApp messages I can't respond to? Last weekend, I even got a comment from a good friend that I really need to detox and learn to enjoy everything around me instead of always wanting to photograph and film everything. Yeah, I know that too, and yet I hear myself using the same excuse every time: but yeah, it's for we-recapture.

I might spend a lot of time on my phone, but it’s not filled with different apps. A few social platforms and Buienradar is about it (rain + bike = grumpy, so avoid if possible). Oh yeah, and the Amayzine app. Duh. But now I've come across something that brings out my inner high schooler (high school in the Netherlands, I was just told – sorry, but I still don't know the Dutch school system that well) again. A bit of nostalgia for the current tech era: the Key-Bored app.

Do you remember when you had to write essays for school and you tried to jazz up the title page with Word Art? Well, those old school fonts can now also be installed on your phone thanks to Instagram hero @FuckJerry. With, as expected, hilarious titles: Basic Bitch Pack, Donald Trump Pack, Naughty Pack, Bro Pack, and the Food Pack. All brilliant GIFs that you can install on your phone just like emoticons to annoy your friends with. This is the new shit, ladies and gentlemen. I no longer need an avocado or croissant emoticon.
