When I first came on the net, there were no web browsers. No search engines. No nothing. Everything was basically just MS-Dos, TelNet and command line. And we liked it. Then came the WWW, in all its sub-human glory. Point & click. We called the n00bs lazy. We didn't like them. In our day, we had to configure modems ourselves and manually install init codes and drivers. We had to memorize everything. We learned to appreciate the scene. Today, people take it all for granted. It's all done for them. Nobody really needs to know anything anymore.

Back in my day the internet was 2 Styrofoam cups joined by a length of string...it took a full day to send a gif of a singular naked breast.

Yeah but thats the whole point of computers you retard, to make shit easier and easier. If it wasn't then there would have been no reason to even invent them.
I mean imagine inventing summing as complex as microprocessors and shit, only to not make any tasks easier?
you know you're getting old when you reminisce about the 'good old days' when things didn't work/were shit/and people often died using them.
As a young-fella-me-lad-son-of-a-bitch the only porn we had was if you got lucky and found a discarded jazz mag...these days you can have gigabytes of ass streamed right to your room..hands free.
My god if I'd had access to that when I was 13 I'd have died of exhaustion and dehydration within 2 months.
in the early 00s I would have to run garage sells for computers because I was so poor these machines had like 256mb of ram or less then in 2003 my mom bought me an AOL bundle that came with a desktop, monitor and kb/m. It had like 512mb of ram and a 50gb hard drive ... that's what I was using to browse TOTSE back in the day ... peoples' watches have more memory than that now
also it was able to run Deus Ex!!! I had a cd-rom from PC gamer that had a full copy of Deus Ex ... I played that game all day everyday for months I would do completely random things too, I didn't care about the story I just wanted to explore

256mb...LUXURY! I remember paying 200 English pounds for 2x2mb 30 pin ram sticks...and earlier than that 50 Brrrrritish pounds for a 16k rampack for a ZX81...
