While I absolutely agree re: distance, I think that another reason "20 years ago" resonates is that many of use were younger 20 years ago. And it sure was easier to make friends as a kid.

Everyone makes friends a lot easier while in school thats for sure. It's an environment that's very conducive toward doing so. However 20 years ago the primary way people were connecting with one another wasn't through an app or website.
