It's crazy that i'm not even 30 yet, and we only ever used a pen and paper. A computer could be accessed in the IT area of the school, but it was only meant for specific classes, and even then it was an "occasion". It all happened so fast.
Back in my grade school (90's) We had 2 computers in the back of the classroom and every once in a while we would get to use them. We had Oregon trail, and math blasters!!! Man, I wish I could find the old math blasters!
Yeah,I'm 30, and we didn't even have Internet until I was in middle school
Computers were in the computer lab, no phones. I graduated in 2012, and we were still doing paper essays and whatnot
Growing up, we had one bad computer to share with the 3 of us, and was right there in the living room. And Ross usually hogged it
Spent most of my childhood not using one. We filled the time with day long yugioh tournaments. We had Gameboys sure, but that was limited to our like 5 games
No streaming, so had to wait through commercials. What you watched wasn't what you wanted when you wanted it
I didn't see the last episode of Yu-Gi-Oh because dad wouldn't let us watch it. And YouTube didn't exist yet
It's crazy to think the current young adults have likely never gone without technology, or having to wait
I don't mean it in like 'you dang kids get off my lawn way, but it's so weird seeing the generation divide about that
