Average here feels like 40+
Even me being 20+, I feel like a kid interrupting adults talking lolz
I read a lot of "back in my day, there weren't smartphones" comments whenever the post talks about technology and smartphones, and I feel so left out. I mean, Smartphones have been a part of most of the life I remember. Can't really remember the world without smartphones.
Idk what I'm doing here, but reddit banned Tor, so I have no where else to anonymously ask weird questions and rant about life.
Early 30 here. Mobile phones only started being accessible when I was like in 5th year of school, smartphones, like proper ones, android/ios - that was closer to my university days. Before that we had different phones with good displays but controlled by buttons, you could play games on those too, but lot simpler ones.
What I'm trying to say, your gen is about the first one to experience "smartphone was here always" vibe.
