While I was reading in the park this evening, a group of kids walked by talking loudly enough that I could hear them
… “what’s your top Google search?” was *not* part of tween truth-or-dare when I was a kid. 😆

It’s funny how technology creates these generational/cultural gaps, especially in childhood.
I used Google plenty when I was a kid, but my Experience(TM) with it must have been totally different from the experience of a kid who grew up with smartphones.

I have a much younger sibling who once asked me whether I had seen all of The Magic School Bus episodes.
Kid, in my day we just watched whatever episode was on TV, and also that space episode that our teachers had on VHS. There was a lot of repetition!

Here’s one for people slightly older than me: I learned to read and started using Google at roughly the same time.
I literally don’t remember not being able to google things I was reading about.
