    I’d say that technologically millennials really have it best over everyone else.

    Us millennials had to figure out the technology as it evolved into what it is today we know how bad it really was before it got really good.

    I remember back in high school around 2002 we got cable internet for the first time we had all of three megabytes download. That was tremendously fast.

    Movies were in divx format and could be dled from peer to peer networks. Morpheus, zazaa, Ares.

    Dang those were the days.

      Gen-X here. We had to figure out acoustic modems and we didn’t have internet, we had local BBSes.

      We also had to figure out the C-64.

      LOAD “$”,8,1
      LIST
      LOAD “WHATEVER”,8
      RUN
