@claralistensprechen3rd nope. all Gen X were already adults or teenagers when that happened. i had my kids and my baby sister was in her early 20s when that happened. am 1966 and she’s 1979, so we’re both GenX. our brother (my puerto rican twin) was too (1967).
@blogdiva @claralistensprechen3rd Yep, I went to a Blockbuster in 2005 in Pleasant Hill, California.

20 19 out of 20.
Edit: I don't think I sent a postcard. I bought them as souvenirs, but didn't send them.

@bipolaron @bryanredeagle your privilege is showing. i taught high school in the 1990s here in nyc and not all our schools had internet access. certainly not in Puerto Rico. and yes, we were most likely in college or a job in legal or finance if we were using the internet BEFORE the web. the www isn't the internet. i had to telnet and gopher to do searches for my academic research.
when it comes to gadgets, old and new obviously coexist. when it comes to the internet? that’s the divide.
@blogdiva @bryanredeagle NYC schools didn't have internet connections in the late 90s? I'm surprised Indianapolis was ahead to be honest, but thanks for the insight. It always felt like we were a decade behind.

@inthehands @blogdiva @Shards Gotta throw in a "used a party line" to really throw off the young folks.
@bryanredeagle @inthehands @blogdiva @Shards I actually ran a dialup BBS node on a party line for all of a hot minute. My neighbors must have hated me.
