    That was pretty normal when I was 10. I was born in the 80s. It was novel like TV in the 1950s or radio in the 1920s.

      Yep same. AOL chatrooms and shock sites like rotten(dot)com were a staple of middle school sleepovers.

      This is how we did it in the 00s too. Then I remember when I got to college and everyone had a laptop - but we still reflexively did all of our hanging out in the same room, just showing each other youtube/newgrounds videos we liked in between classes.

      That was peak internet for me, everything since has been a pale shadow.
