I was just going out to my car so I grabbed my keys. Not my I.D. card that lets me into the building, or my phone.
I get back to the building from my car and realize I can't get in. This isn't the first time that it's happened, and it certainly won't be the last. I was lucky though. There was a guy in the building already and so he let me in. The problem was, he doesn't live in our building. So he couldn't get into the hallway. Neither of us had our phones, so we couldn't call people to let us in. I remembered that one of my roommates was on Facebook when I left. So I went to one of the computers in the lobby, to log in. The whole time thinking
"What would we do if we didn't have Facebook, or cell phones?"
While my computer was logging me in and connecting to the Internet, the guy stuck with me ran outside to bang on the windows of the people he was seeing. They came out to get us.
We defeated the problem old-school.
Then I realized later that before Facebook and cell phones, we wouldn't have had to slide I.D. cards to get into the building.
Oh this modern age...
