Change is inevitable...
Basically.
Once every person had access to the Internet in the palm of their hands around 2009, it was a fukking wrap for society.

Late 90s was trash (97 onward)
That’s when the internet was ushered in, exciting concept for sure at first but the quality of life took a hit….we didn’t realize it back then

Nope when we say it was a different time it really was.

no one said the 90's were perfect but holistically, people were doing better. the violence in the 90's was concentrated in certain communities, if you didn't live there, you weren't affected. gangs? that's even more local - like wearing red/blue and saying cuz wasn't an issue up here in Oakland, while that would get you chopped in certain LA hoods. 9/11, the war, bush's election, and the surge of white collar crime + widening wealth gap were things that happened in the begining of the decade and only got worse - people felt the pain in housing costs (that's when a lot of black families started being displaced from cities), gas prices went crazy multiple times, people lost 401k's and pensions due to shyt like enron and worldcomm...yall bugging if you say the macro-socioecominc climate of the 00's and 90's was the same. like most decades, it takes about 2 years for things to feel different than the last, by 02, things were very different than 92-99
This is where anecdotal evidence fails. I had a computer too, had the internet in the late 90's, etc...... but the facts are that the vast majority of people did not have internet at home. No one had access to it on the phones that were out during the 90's.I'm starting to think your perception of 90's vs 2000's depends on if you had a computer in the 90's or not. My family had a computer, I took computer classes and everything. We had the internet and I was using for research for reports in 1996 and 1997. So the 2000's was an extension of the 90's for me. Thee things I was doing in the broadband I was doing in the 56k era...just more slowly.
One time I downloaded an anime. It took me a full 24 hours to download it on 56k. My dad was pissed.
For most people you were only getting on the internet at libraries. internet cafes or your school's computer lab (if you had one) in the 90's.
fukk nah
No one bought that shyt in 2007 though. Flip phones lead cell phone sales until like 2011.
Also AT&T was only provider of iphone until 2011 as well. So if you were on Sprint, T mobile or verizon you couldnt even get an iphone.
I know. I didn’t get a smartphone until 2013 lol

Late 90’s was garbage compared to the early and mid 90’s. ‘97-99 still better than any year in the 2000’s.
2002 or 2003 was when the 2000’s started to develop its own identity from the late 90’s.
Same thing for the years 1992 and 1993 from the late 80’s.
2009 or 2010 was the beginning of what we have here today.
