@mirabilos I wasn't living in the states for a good chunk of my childhood. I only started getting limited access to the internet in my preteens. The tech-lag was basically closed by the time I moved back to the US, and that accelerated timeline gave me the experience of going from stuff like Windows 3.11, needing to fiddle with DOS and floppies to play simple arcade games, to getting CDs, etc, and dial-up (internet access starts here - I didn't care much at the time until I learned I could read more books this way), etc etc. all the way to the modern era. Except I was still in my teens by the end of the "catch up" around the early 2010s. So, I do feel like I got to experience the Internet this way but I know everyone's experience will be vastly different. @ilovecomputers
