9/11/01 was the end, sadly.
Imagine being 21 in 2001. Too young to enjoy the 80s and being a teenager during the "last gasp" 90s, thinking your 20s are going to be great in the new millennium... then BOOM- 9/11.
That must have sucked.

Just enough technology to make things better but not overbearing.
My first computer had 64 MB of RAM and a 10 GB HDD I think. I can still hear the dial up modem sound in my head.

This video is a good snapshot of the way people interacted before phones:

Boys today would never understand what it was like trying to get the dial tone internet to connect to look at porn before my parents got home. That dial tone when you don’t have a lot of time felt like forever lol.

Dam, I wonder what we looked like and where the video is from 1986, my first year at LSU

Great music, parents had no way of tracking us, and no taking pictures as teenagers and putting hundreds of filters on it to see how many likes we got. We took pictures, got it developed, and hoped for the best. There is no online evidence of our teen years.
