Do you miss the early-mid 2000s era of things, Sup Forums?
People seem to think things when to shit after 9/11 but I think things from Late 2001-2006 were still fantastic. It was 2007 with the iPhone, Big bang theory, Recession, social media, etc. where things truly went downhill.
Alexander Richardson
Society was already going downhill at that time, but to me 2005-2007 was the peak of the internet, and I've been online since 1997.
Ryder Garcia
People have become superficial and constantly need that dopaminergic rush, so everything truly valuable is beyond sight
Too many highs make too many lows
Jace White
No.
Social media and the iPhone were great developments, there's no way anyone would willingly go back to the dark ages.
Jaxson Roberts
00's were just a watered-down 90's
Dominic Thomas
Yeah but they've amplified our social problems
Online interaction has created these fringe movements because it lacks the connection actual human interaction has
Now everyone reads some manifesto online and deems an entire global subpopulation subhuman without any meaningful contact with them
Anthony Cox
>I've been online since 1997 How old are you? This I think we got most of new, innovative ideas in 80's and 90's and after that is pretty much continuation of 80's and 90's
Joseph Rogers
They don't have anything to do with social problems, you are blaming the tools. The Internet and smartphones are no different than a hammer or a gun.
Jacob Powell
obama decided to make socialism mainstream and look what we got
Ryder Adams
The interconnectedness, globalization of our social problems happened through them, now everyone is on edge and hysterical
Back then people always found them simpler and approached them constructively
Alexander Anderson
I miss 2006
Charles Foster
32. My aunt's work gave her home access to their dial-up connection, and she shared the username and password details with me. Shit was cash.
The only website I knew at the time was Yahoo.
Blake Myers
>you realize that in a little over a year we will be able to fuck qts born after 9/11
Zachary Taylor
What? Obama was not a socialist by any means, he was a pro-capitalist corporatist. He would be considered right-wing in many other, more sane countries.
Ryder Watson
>Yahoo I cannot even remember when Google started replacing Yahoo
If you've been online since 1997? Have you happened to see the very beginning of Sup Forums?
Aaron Jenkins
2007 - 2011 was the golden age, it was all downhill from there.
Luke Lewis
yeah but tell that to retarded americans who saw it as a free ticket to start with their dumb liberal ideas, thus destroying the world
Asher James
>Have you happened to see the very beginning of Sup Forums?
No. I first heard of Sup Forums in like 2005 and didn't start browsing until the end of 2006.
Wyatt Thomas
nah the 70's were fun. bushy, unprotected sex. relatively benign drugs. and maybe good music too.
Bentley Stewart

Xavier Kelly
I miss nothing
Isaac Rodriguez
except puberty judging from your flag
Austin Adams

Aaron Evans
I was born in Russia on October 14, 1990. And Russia was the best between 1993-2002, when there was free speech.
Jaxson Butler
