Twitter has been reminiscing about life before Facebook
It seems a lot of you were watching @midnight on Comedy Central overnight, because you heard Chris Hardwick ask his guests what they did before Facebook came along.
It's hard to believe but there really was a time before Facebook so tonight we're playing #BeforeFacebookI...https://t.co/2zcEzmqHez

A lot of you joined in and the hashtag has been trending in Ireland since.
Many of your tweets involved variations on these.
#BeforeFacebookI:
- Had to actually show my emotions to people
- Could easily not notice that it was someone's birthday. Now I have to put in real effort to "forget".
- Never realised so many sick kids never had operations due to a lack of "likes"
- Would often sit around wondering what my friends were having for dinner
- Was enjoying real life with real friends
- We were blissfully ignorant of how many true idiots there are out in the world
Here are some of the funnier tweets:
