I’m a millennial and think I got the perfect moment in history, school was only school no computers and MSN etc until highschool. There was no mobile phones until then too. (I mean for kids)
Consoles were still multilayer locally and there was no social media.
But we still had all the conveniences of modern life now apart from instant food delivery and streaming
Not US, but I was 24 in 2008. It was definitely an interesting time in many aspects. My dad was 24 in 1978 and that was also not great. And my grandfather was 24 in 1944. (also he was in Germany)
