    You obviously were born after the use of paper had already died out. It was quite common in written bullet points. On,y with digital did that change to be more uniform.

    Now this happened in a group chat, with someone talking about rising with their dad and discussing Twitter, so I’d hazard a guess that they too are after digital first.

      When did paper die out? Was it during the water wars of 2037 or the great snake plague of 2052?

        Haha, I’d say about late 90s. I know I’m at the point where my printer is packed away and only gets resuscitation every 6 months or so. Holding a pen to write any more than a few words on a form feels odd.
