It doesn't make me feel anything. It does make me think about people who think the internet was invented in the 90s though.

Wow! Reminds me of acoustic modems and remote terminals for mainframes!

And the local non-profit dial-up ISP I helped set up with grant money in the early 1990s. Housed in donated space in a public library.

The internet is 50 years old

I was going to argue against this, but then I thought about it a bit and agreed.

I always tend to think of the Internet being older because my brain remembers that it was created in the 60s, so I push it back more. But it was connected at the very tail end of the decade (the last couple months of 1969), so yes, that would make it 50 this month.

Which technically means I'm 8 years younger than the Internet. But I'm also 13 years older than the World Wide Web.

Really fucking old. But then again, I already felt that way before reading your topic title.

Not in this area anywhere. Finally found a semi-affordable satellite company.
