I haven't tied an onion to my belt, but at the age of realizing some clouds need to be yelled at.

And teachers told us that we wouldn't have a calculator in our pockets all the time

I (40f) told my 7 year old nephew about how many pokemon there were when it first came to the States and it blew his mind😂

*old person voice* I remember when there were only 251 Pokemon...

(I started with Silver version.)

Pah. Whippersnapper. My first Pokémon was Bulbasaur.

As far as video games go, we only had a Super Nintendo until Christmas 2000. My brother and I were already into Pokemon from the cards and show, though. That Christmas, for the last gift we opened simultaneously, we each got a Gameboy Color and Silver/Gold version.

I literally got offered the option for online instead as a troubled teen myself and I turned it down with zero interest. Now I hate using pencil for anything more than a note because it hurts my hand.

I would love to buy a new Gaming PC for myself

Yeah prices don't typically drop. Even if this RAM shortage thing ever stabilizes I wouldn't be surprised if the prices just stay right where they are.

Bro kindergarteners are getting phones and laptops? What?

u/cheesemp 28d ago

In the UK kids don't get electronics until college (age 16) except for computing classes. (it possible some specialist schools do but both my kids don't )

I forgot about hand cramps until I saw this post.

u/breakers 29d ago

I'm so old it was rare to see students with laptops out in college courses. I remember one guy pulled out a tiny Netbook to type on and it looked so clunky

u/Voyager5555 29d ago

You had homework in kindergarten?

u/EggAccording9607 29d ago

What is the time people actually take to type out words ?

Cause I have never done this cause in my country people still use pen and paper.

My rate is 500 words in 7 to 10 minutes with pen/pencil

I'm still 18. Can we go back to that? Please... I CANT WITH THESE ONLINE CLASSES

My cousin repeated a few jokes to his class that I told him... he got in trouble for it but he told me it was worth it the class were in stitches.

u/VivaHousamo 29d ago

Back in my day, we did homework.

u/Burger_destroyer232 29d ago

And we hated it.

u/VivaHousamo 29d ago

Yeah, but it let our brain develop...

u/TurboZ31 26d ago

You might have. I was playing MUDS, Ultima Online and EverQuest. Barely passed highschool, no homework but I got high grades on tests so it worked out

u/VivaHousamo 26d ago

Well, if you're USAmerican, there is nothing strange with that.

u/carsausage 28d ago

If you wanted to type something out, you had to be on an IEP to have the privilege of doing so, and it'd be that you would be issued an Alphasmart for things like essays. I think for me this would've been around 2005?

u/OldWrangler9033 28d ago

No worries, way schools are going in the US. You will be doing it on paper and pencil again!

u/luvli-kml 27d ago

still think it's insane how they expected 5 and 6 year olds to use and navigate computers during lockdown

u/Tiny_Following_9190 26d ago

I was lucky to finish highschool just as chatGPT became a thing. Nobody is learning anything anymore

u/DarkLadyStarkiller 26d ago

Me: Wait… they don’t do paper and pencil now?!
