Define fall of civilisation, because you make it sound like the end of times, while for me it could mean to go back to how my grandparents lived as kids.
Please tell me you predate the internet, I don't want to be THAT old
Yes, I'm just old enough to have seen people smoking in planes.
Now I don't feel as old lol, we were on dial up when I was a teen and finally got access to high speed when I hit college, then shortly after I got high speed for myself at my apt. Before that there was smoking in malls and restaurants.
Not the person you replied to but:
Technically I predate the internet
That doesn't exactly mean much tho...
I was born in 2002, y'all westerners got the internet very early, but internet didn't really exist in the part of China where I lived up till my family emigrated... many developing countries also didin't have internet...
Parents didn't really use the internet till like 2014/2015, and the first thing they did was make a WeChat account and now they just go on there all the time lmfao
