So.00:00:37JackSo and today we are doing one more quick chat episode and today's quick chat question is do you believe that online friends can be as close as offline friends?00:00:53JackSo. So. So what do you?00:00:54JackThink about that.00:00:56XochitlJack, I think it's very interesting because we grew up in different ages. I basically am part of the generation that's called natives where we grew up alongside technology. So I can't remember a time before computers and Internet.00:01:15XochitlYeah, maybe sometimes I think I remember, like, the dial-up screeching. I'm.00:01:19XochitlNot 100 on.00:01:20XochitlIt I think there were cell phones. I remember there being like Internet and computers when I was a child like even before.00:01:31XochitlThe age of 5.00:01:32XochitlAnd my earliest memories involved technology.00:01:35XochitlBut I also did.00:01:36XochitlGrow up in a time where we still would go and play with the neighbors and stuff like that. I don't know if kids do that as much as as we.00:01:44XochitlUsed to and Jack I think sorry Hun.00:01:46JackTo interrupt.00:01:47JackYou. But yeah, when I was growing up as a.00:01:49JackKid, we literally.00:01:50JackJust ran out of the house in the morning.00:01:53JackAnd our parents didn't know where we were, and there was no way for them to to contact us. Just.00:02:00JackHope they come home.00:02:02JackAnd that was it, you.00:02:03JackKnow, yeah.00:02:04XochitlI still kind of grew up in this because we, like my dad, had a cell phone and stuff, but we didn't have cell phones until we were like 13. I think cell phones were already around, but like, my parents didn't let us have them until we were 13 until I was 13 and my sister was like a little older. I. No, I guess when she turned 13, she got her first.00:02:23XochitlSon. And then I got.00:02:25XochitlAnd my friends 13 but.00:02:30XochitlAs a little kid, like a little little kid under the age of 10. And I would remember waking up in the morning also and running out of the house and I would yell at my mom, I'm going over to Linda's house or whatever and she's like, OK and then we run over to the next door neighbor's.00:02:44XochitlHouse and like.00:02:45XochitlBring the door to talk, I mean.00:02:47XochitlCan you imagine?00:02:48XochitlParents were just so tolerant of this.00:02:50XochitlAnd like either the kid would come out.00:02:52XochitlDirectly or your parents would come.00:02:54XochitlAnd be like, hey, what's?00:02:55XochitlUp and you'd be like.00:02:57Xoc
