Dr.Caligari posted:That was wonderfully worded kaworu, and I fully agree. I obviously can't personally know what it was like to grow up in different time periods, but I feel like being born in 82 and coming to adulthood in roughly the 2000's was more surreal. It's like not only have I grown, but how virtually everything is done is different. It's not good or bad, just something that comes with rapid technology advancement. I also think it makes me feel older than I am. For instance if I would tell a teenager , or even someone in their early twenties about how it use to be normal to go all day without being in some form of contact with friends and family, outside of an emergency. I also grew up with the added layer of being in a small town that has grown into a lovely small-mid town. No one will probably ever again know the excitement of having their mom tell them to "grab a book, we are going to walmart" (which ,back in my day, was 45 minutes away). I recently read that people around our age have the best comprehension of computer technology. Older people reached adulthood without using computers; the "parseltongues" who come after us take too much for granted, not having seen the technology develop. babua posted:I remember saving up my allowance so I can pay my parents for the overnight download of 130mb pdf over IRC. It was the Werewolf: The Apocalypse core rulebook. I loved IRC ebook channels. Weren't there like a dozen filesharing programs that popped up in the wake of Napster's death? I think I used Audiogalaxy in there somewhere. Halloween Jack fucked around with this message at 17:40 on Jan 13, 2016 |
