recently is being talked in tiktok about a french guy claiming that he's trapped in the year 2055...showing plastic cases of games for ps7 and sodas with that date. even when that's BS, i was thinking...how would you communicate with people 26 years ago? we're talking of someone from 2026 talking to people in 1997...

-twitter didn't exist (even myspace and hi5 didn't exist)

-the most advanced cellphone were the nokia 3310 or 1108 or those old-ass siemens

-internet was something basically unknown for most people in those years

-sony releases a playstation almost every 7 years, so...for 2055 it should be in ps10 (assuming that sony or douyin still exist by then)

what do you think? how would you use current technology to communicate with people of the past?

1997 was the year I first discovered the internet. My schoolfriend's family got it. We would go onto online chat rooms and meet people (who, looking back, I'm pretty sure were paedophiles). So you could definitely post on the internet in 1997 and there seemed to be quite a few people online.
