It's hard to remember life before smartphones and constant internet connection

[Dameon Farrow]

I remember it. But I think about this particular subject a lot myself. The things phones are doing now? If you had told me in 20years we'd have shyt like FaceTime and apps for everything from credit card reading to downloaded books, I might not have believed you. shyt would have seemed like science fiction back then but it's normal now.

The smartphone era has been the past 5 years for me at 32.


90s babies dont know what the world was like before the internet.

Late 90s maybe and even then poor people still exist.

I was born in 1990 and didn't get my first internet connection til 03/04 and that was dial-up.

Then switched to DSL and back and forth. Those Earthlink and AOL discs came in handy.

Then cable internet got relatively cheaper and a constant connection was great.

As for the whole smartphone thing, I still don't really get it. I like my phone but my phone isn't my life like everyone else. It does help me to not stare in people's faces though.

I grew up with desktop computers. Couldn't connect to the internet with them at first but they are more powerful and easier to multitask with.

I'm out here waiting on that Android N so I can multitask a little better on my phone.
