I remember when...

Ok, remember when the Internet was just invented... how your parents used to tell you how they managed to live without chat rooms or emails or all kinds of stuff you had because of the internet...ok, maybe that didn't happen to everybody, but it did happen, probably similar to how your grandparents told your parents how they lived without a TV in every room, or without a TV at all. And I can't keep but wonder, what could we possibly be telling our 10, 15 year old children??? Well, I know what...

"I remember when we didn't even have Google", right??? I mean, they way things are going, Google will be the unquestionable ruler of the world (planet Google, if you will). We will tell our kids how we had to remember like 10 different usernames and passwords and not having anything linked to a same username, how we had to use hotmail or yahoo, with all those annoying messages at the end of every email sent and those 20 megabytes of storage, how we needed to use a standalone software to chat with someone, how we had to download videos in the ugliest formats before viewing them, but most importantly, how the internet was before cloud computing. I mean, you have a Google account, you have access to stuff you didn't even know existed, and everything is in the internet, you don't need to download software, you don't need to specify your settings every time you login in a different computer, you just open your Chrome browser (Google, haha), go to "whatever.google.com" and that's it.

But there's a key difference between us and our parents...they told us that because they didn't have the slightest idea what all this new stuff was and preferred to do it their way, but we DO know what all this new stuff is, and we like it. So more like telling our kids that in a spiteful way because we don't know what they're doing, we will tell them as a story to amuse them, to make them go "Really???" or "How did you manage to do xxx???"

Damn, I'm feeling old just thinking about it...but that's what happens when you have a shitload of time, you think about useless unimportant stuff, haha.
