I see we are from the same generation (born 1991) with the same memories on the internet.

Though I might add, that younger generations have a wast different experience what the web and _beeing online_. Is for us beeing online was not a omnipresent. When you log off icq you are simply not available. Very different to Facebook messenger / WhatsApp imho.

Not saying that we are not living in the same world today but the way to experience the web is different.

I'm from 89 and have the same experience: not being at my computer meant being offline.

But also I was for many, many hours on phone with friends (unlimited minutes). So, I'm not sure that changed much

I agreem its a very different experience. The web seemed less orderly and not as curated as it is today.
