  • At least in part, the early internet was only accessible to people who wanted to access it (nerds), so nerds controlled the online culture for a long time. The democratization and onlinization of everyone through things like memes and social media has lowered the standard of participation

  • Just how boring weekends at home were. No internet yet, dog shit tv programming (hope you like Golf, MASH, or Land of the Lost). Stare at the walls or read a book. My family was anti vidya.

    Pagers ushering in the age of always being online. Mom could send a page to Dad and then he knew to find a phone and give her a call.

    Rewinding the VHS before returning it to the rental store

    Memorizing the CCS skate catalog

    Being able to buy realistic looking toy guns and brandishing them everywhere

    Those shirts made of towel material

    Switching to the other "real alternative ROCK" radio station whenever one goes to commercial to catch "Livin on a prayer" for the fourth time today

    (A bit later) Calling home to have Mom look up MapQuest directions because I got lost
