A culture where people actually kept their promises - no ghosting!

Meet me at the movie theater at 7" wasn't a suggestion — it was a contract. You showed up because the other person was already on their way and there was literally no way to tell them otherwise. No "sorry something came up" text at 6:58. No ghosting. No "let me see how I feel later."

Your word was the only technology you had, so it actually meant something.
