When I think about "the other day" it's the early 00's. In reality 28 Days Later came out almost 20 years ago and all of the WW2 vets are either decrepit or dead. The world has passed us by and we didn't even realize it. Post things that happened in the meantime of us getting old: For instance what ever happened to William Hung? The She Bangs guy?  A gentleman and a philosopher to this day.

Oh and that was about when I started reading the front page and dipping in to the forums. Thinking it was likely a Cliff Yablonski article that was my first introduction to the site.

William Hung was part of the pokemon card game scene in California when I was a kid. I would see him at tournaments big tournaments regularly.

I was eleven. It was simpler times. Far worse, but simpler. Also it was a time where being on the cutting edge of tech was dead simple.

I was more commenting on my personal situation, not like society as a whole or whatever. Cutting edge of tech I was referring to the 2000s being like you knew some CSS or could remote bash or whatever and it was impressive. Now there's like a billion specific technologies used to run things and it is very complicated but also hella cool.

I know the raw technology behind some of that stuff is impressive as its own thing but it's being used for things that are either boring or vaguely dystopian, from what I've seen. to use your example, what's the 2021 equivalent of having a shell box so you can IRC from school and serve stupid websites? I've seen advances in technology but they're more interesting on an academic level than "that's awesome and it will make my life cooler in this measurable way that couldn't happen in the past, the future rules", when it felt like stuff like that was happening repeatedly during the 80's, 90's, and early 2000s, and there was an incentive to keep up with technology beyond a paycheck. the self driving car I guess? I like driving though pre-emptive
