Except you can be all like "hey I knew you when you were just a wee baby" and then be all like "man your parents must really regret spending all that money on your education"

The Internet wasn't in widespread use for socialising until about 1990 so you can certainly say "I remember when there was no MySpace".

Actually, eight year olds could say that.

There's this really handy "other thing" I'm going to write as a footnote to my abstract that I can probably explore these issues in. I think I'll call it my "dissertation."

Wow, I am glad I turned 20 already because I would hate to be younger than the internet. Don't ask why, I have no idea.

Taking into account the WWW clarification, I think I know why. It means you didn't grow up on it. It's kinda like my great-grandmother, who is still alive and kicking at 99 years of age. She remembers a time before World War I. World War ONE, guys. Imagine 79 years from now, being able to remember such an archaic time as "before web access was available to the average Joe".

May, I don't actually think any 8 year olds can say they remember a time where there was no MySpace. I've been on there for 6 or 7 years already, and most people's memories start at 4 years of age, so yeah. We are already raising a generation of failure. :D
