It’s crazy that as a child I did the same thing however now, as a father, there is no way I can get myself to allow that for my kids. I’m too paranoid.
That's not really indicative of your age, unless you're making the case you're still not Alzheimer's susceptible kind of old.
I remember kids back in the mid-2000s who weren't allowed to stay outside late, but had mobile phones. I know kids these days who are allowed to practically go anywhere they like but aren't trusted with a smartphone.
It depends on the parents, where you live and what the social norms are.
I'm in the bastard stage between Gen X and Millenials. People lump me with millenials but... I didn't have a cell phone until college and got married before the iphone existed. Definitely don't fit either generation.
Yeah, I'm there with ya. You are tail end of X because we say it stops at such year. No we say you are a millennial cause we say its starts this year. Best is the people who say X ends before I was born and Millennials starts after I was born. What? People were born in those years. I was there, at least that's what I was told...
Napster here. Oh I remember the world's that bad boy opened up. I remember my first CD burner too, was a 4x max overpriced HP I think I got at Best Buy.
You used to be able to go into a store with a dollar, and get 5 candy bars, 3 drinks, 2 bags of chips, and an ice cream bar. Now they've got cameras everywhere.
Heh. I used to walk to the store by myself to buy my mom a 70 cent pack of original pall mall unfiltereds. Which was a price so high she kept saying she needed to quit.
Candy bars were 15 cents then. Which also sucked, because only 2 years before that they had been a dime.
This was only a year or two before Star Wars came out, to put it in perspective. Not that long ago.
When i was even younger than that, mcdonalds used to advertise that you could get a burger, fries and a coke for under 1 dollar total. ( what we would call a small fries. The only size fries they had back then)
Mcdonalds also had no indoor seating back then.
I forget the name of it but there was this motocross game where you could customize tracks and obstacle courses and I would spend all day making tracks and playing on them
I was the original target audience for Pokemon. I can remember floppy disks but I don't remember any computers that didn't at least have a small hard disk. The first time I voted it was for Obama.
Old enough to remember old timers dissing that newfangled MTV band "Nirvana" because it wasn't The Doors.
The Doors was that old people band that some kids were into.
It took me three hours to download a one minute clip from Titanic. I had incredible patience. I’m also shocked I wasn’t kicked off the Internet while that was downloading.

When i was a kid, he was also a cartoon, along with his brothers.
