@mikolaszko @Tattooed_mummy @kev Not putting your age in bio (especially if it's in the under 20s range) is laudable. Why does anyone need to know? I think it's much more depressing how normalised sharing a host of personal info online now is...

@enchantedsleeper @mikolaszko @kev I'd only share my birthday if I thought people would send cards 😂😉
I just add my generation as I think it helps frame my life experience.

@enchantedsleeper @mikolaszko @kev not suggesting being old gives me better knowledge obviously, but life experiences, such as remembering life before the net, and also dial up, give a different perspective

@Tattooed_mummy @enchantedsleeper @kev Well, I am 20 and I remember life before the internet because I was born in Poland. We had a dial up at my house until I was 8. Examples you provide might be universal for people born in the West Europe or US/any county that didn't have to catch up financially. This was (more or less because I couldn't find the exact model) the TV I had. Many of my friends have similar experiences but hey, it's a small sample

@mikolaszko @enchantedsleeper @kev hence why my country is in my bio too. So much of the Internet is American!

@mikolaszko my daughter is 23 but grew up with tape players because I'm retro lol

@Tattooed_mummy @mikolaszko sounds lovely! I hear tapes have better sound. Is that true?

Tattooed_Mummy replied to Galadriel

@Galadriel @mikolaszko I mostly listen to vinyl or cds now. One day I might try streaming as you kids call it 😉.
Tapes are great unless they stretch or break. Though a bit of sellotape sorts them out

@russellt @Galadriel @Tattooed_mummy @mikolaszko and more hiss over time :( I got rid of all my 90's nightclub recorded sets a few years ago becsuse it really wasn't an enjoyable quality any more. Luckily someone has been putting a lot of those old sets on youtube 😁
