I’m new to the internet. Only got access to it 3 years ago. Didn’t own a smartphone until last year. I’m curious how it was for people who discovered it earlier.

    I was in 4th grade in the school library, and I don’t think I really fully understood what was happening until much later. This was when people were still unironically calling it the Information Superhighway, and there was just the vague sense that we were seeing some crazy Star Trek tech whose origins could never be adequately explained.
