  • It’s a bit crazy to think about how things have changed. When I was a kid, the only computer in the house that was online was in the office/living room, so my parents could walk past at any time and see what I was up to. This was in the MSN beta days, and I was usually in teen chat, which, given the beta, meant that we were all teens whose parents had gotten prerelease Win95 discs (actually, in my case, it was the head of my high school math department who “loaned” me his CD).

    As a result, it was pretty chill. Having your phone at all hours and no oversight seems an absurd situation.
