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.

I’m so old I predate web browser social media even. I just can’t with Tiktok.
