@awoo hmmm... yeah but most of y'all don't have conscious memories of the pre-smartphone era, or a world before the 2008 crash. That's what feels so weird about 2003; This clear yet vague perception of there having been a different world before this one.
@VanuPhantom oh I do remember parts of the pre-smartphone era (heck, I used "dumb phones" (how they're called nowadays) until 2015 or something if that counts) and I very vaguely remember parts of the world before the 2008 crash...
@awoo@VanuPhantom I mean our dumb phones were quite a bit different though, hell, my first proper phone already had wifi access but couldn't really be called smart for various reasons (S40 moment)
@jeder@VanuPhantom ...yours had WiFi access?? damn, I didn't have WiFi access until I got my PSP sometime in 2012 or so iirc, and a Samsung Galaxy S3 mini in 2015
(fyi I was using phones such as the Nokia 6300 and some weird Samsung flip phone with lots of 2000's vodafone branding in its software)
