"Normal amount" is a bit over 40, no?

I think this would describe people in their mid to late 30s, if they were 10 in the mid to late 90s. Any earlier than that and it would have been bulletin boards and not the web.

I think it depends on when you had access to the Internet. I’m older than that. I know people my age without this experience.

Sure, but the meme describes being ten years old while having this experience, and the experience is specifically the World Wide Web, not earlier ways of interacting with the internet. If you are older than 40, you were 10 in 1995 or earlier, a year or two after the first possible time that anyone could access the www. So the specific facts here apply to people aged in their late 30s.

I assume so, possibly because that's how old I am, but it seems right.
