To quote one of my favorite authors:
― Douglas Adams, The Salmon of Doubt: Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time
Yeah but Facebook was invented when I was a teen and I knew pretty quickly that shit was evil.
You must have been very mature for your age, and very cool.
How did you feel about pop music that came out when you were young? Born in the wrong generation at all?
At 15 the thing i wanted most in the world was an escape hatch from all these other assholes I had to spend my time with everyday at school. Right around that time Facebook arrived ensuring they would have more access to me and the people around me more then any other time in history.
What about things that are invented when I'm younger than 15?
Man, the toys invented around that time are the best.... But that's probably all you're really paying attention to at that point.
And for kids now? Well they have things like Skibidi Toilet to keep them occupied.
But for a more serious answer I think that's when they're in their most creative mindset and everything is new to them and they're learning how things work.
Obviously the exact age at which someone starts to take an interest in tech is going to be different from person to person. For me, I was a fan of reading popular science magazines at a younger age as well as manuals on all of the different setting/functions/features of operating systems...
That's number 1.
This is the answer.
I beg to disagree. The answer is 42. The real issue being: to what question? :p
would be nice, but isn't true according to Douglas Adams himself:
personally, i think it's way funnier that it is actually, completely, deliberately meaningless ;)
Fucking hell it's true. This is exactly the kind of obscure nonsense I love, how did it take me 30 years to learn this?
That's very cool
