It's kind of sad, really. I remember using a 100 MB zip disk in college, but I don't remember when flash drives became commonplace or when GB became the standard measurement of storage space. I don't remember when Youtube started to be the go-to place for tutorials or vlogs or best-of compilations or fan videos or SNL skits. I don't remember when Wikipedia became my first resource for superficial knowledge of any subject. I don't even remember when ethernet entirely replaced dial up connections, or when Wifi became the standard. I don't even remember when aol and geocities and hotmail became obsolete. Crazy, huh?Janeheiresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14433497544818392893noreply@blogger.com
