It's 1977. You're a 14 year old on a fishing boat with your buddies. You decide to put a message in a bottle and throw it out to sea, imagining the great adventures this bottle will go through and the possibility that one day, a stranger will find it. Will find you, too!
Cue the Disappointment Music, because this stranger found this guy's message in a bottle after 33 years, and decided to contact him via...Facebook.
Granted, the address he provided in the bottle is probably not a current one, but the wonder and amazement just got seriously diminished by the electronic era. Sure, the fact that he actually got a response is pretty awesome, but come on! Getting a hand-written letter after 33 years versus an impersonal "Friend Request" cannot even be compared. Call me old-fashioned, but my inner child does not know about Facebook yet, and I don't want to tell her.
