Sometimes I can't believe I'm 37
Born in 89' and grew up with 14.4k dial up modems, CD-Rs, Limewire, Colombia House, Blockbuster and landline phones.
Now we have it so good, but in some ways, we always did.
Going to Blockbuster to pick a movie on Fridays used to be my thing, and now I can't pick a movie to watch across half a dozen streaming services, there are too many choices, it doesn't mean the same thing.
We used to get charged for not rewinding VHS tapes. Paid 0.25c per text message. 😔
