I'm so old I predate web browser social media even. I just can't with Tiktok.
How were the olden days gramps? No but really, if you don't mind answering, what was the 'newest' tech that you can remember coming out when you were a kid?
I'm in my early thirties and was raised in a different country, I can recall the internet being the latest thing and how my family all huddled around our first pc and internet connection to set up an email ha. I don't recall all of it but I recall it had AppleManzana in it which manzana is just apple in Spanish.
Telnet talkers! They predated the existence of a web page. It was a basic text interface that you had to telnet into a certain IP address. It was a wonder of ASCII art too. And we got there by using the freenet using a dialup modem that took out your phone line for hours.
Once webpages came along I migrated to Livejournal, which was and is forever the best social media that ever existed even in its decayed Russian state today.
