I just wrote an answer to this post and saw your comment afterwards. I am over 30 and the pattern I explained in my comment all points towards getting older and mature.

Does it mean that young people are still exploring the internet and computer today the way I use to back when I was young?

Yes, but they're exploring TikTok, YouTube and to a lesser extent, Instagram. There are oceans of content to explore on those platforms.

TikTok is the closest thing to the early Internet IMO, although it's becoming much more commercial like Instagram now.

But that sort of democratisation of view points and content is great.

Seems like you could use the same argument to say that the olds are still exploring too. I certainly have a lot of friends that spend hours watching random videos on TikTok and Youtube and they're in their 40s.

Don't forget Discord, Minecraft, and Roblox.
