Gen X pede here. Growing up in the 80s and 90's we didn't have smart phones and PS4's. The internet wasn't a thing when I was a kid. We played outside, rode our bikes without helmets and without fear. We stayed out all night long on Halloween filling our pillow cases with candy (without parents lingering 10' behind us) and the world was a much different place. It was better. I miss life before the world wide web. OP is absolutely correct. 100%

Same age as you and yes. I am profoundly grateful for not growing up digital.

I grew up in the 90s. The internet got me when I was a teen. Yes, I've spent more time outside in my first 10 years of life than the rest of my life combined. I'm kidding. Sort of.

Yeah and jpgs loading in for 10 seconds. Member the screaming exorcist girl. Everyone had to suffer through that for a while. Youtube has gotten so compromized since then. Member when it was still amateurs uploading 144p videos. It was the wild west back then. Them days. Them days I say.
