Most of my childhood was in the early 2010s but for me it was like I was living in the 90s because I was always at my grandparent’s. They had all sorts of retro tech I played with as a kid. I burned CDs, I listened to cassettes and I had no internet, ever. My first exposure to a PC was with a mid 80s PC clone running Windows 1.0.
So it’s probably something like this
What a difference in time perception we have, it’s wild, cause the early 2010’s was full on PS3 and late-early YouTube era for me. I think everyone I knew around me already was pretty connected to the internet. But yeah 10 years before that, I could see your grandparents’ situation being commonplace. Glad you had that time to discover all this awesome technology !
My brother had internet access over 3G but he wouldn’t let me use it, but sometimes he gave me some new games to play. That’s how I got to play Minecraft and that’s how I learned programming with Game Maker. But yes, I also had a Wii and a DSi but I had just a handful of games, so I played Pokémon White all day and almost finished it three times
