I’m kinda grateful I got 20 years of pre-Internet life. Hybrid pre-post Internet brain feels like a superpower relative to people who were too old/dead or too young/unborn to develop one. A kind of bicameralism.

Things I read before the internet are not all connected up in my head. They’re more like separate disconnected universes. It’s like I have public cloud/private cloud head. Things you read with google at fingertips get compiled to long-term memory with a lot more bundled context.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Pre-Internet generation probably read more books, longer format content, had more focus on fewer things, explored more outside of recommended similar content, spent more time on less purchases, more get togethers with friends, less spontaneous decisions, more balanced journalism.

It’s however not all good. Pre-internet generation is tuned to perceive information as scarce/hard to obtain. For ex, often they will wait for “asking around” to get answer while they could have just searched right away. They also tend to value determinism/predictability more.
