This was in the early noughties. I don’t remember what computer we had but it was a shared family device kept in the living room.

The monitor was white and huge and the dial-up modem meant we couldn’t use the phone and the internet at the same time. I can still recall the screechy sound of the modem connecting. If you’re curious, check out https://youtu.be/gsNaR6FRuO0?si=NlAy_pSVS0P7SxEm

This was before social media when emails were our main source of online communication and we’d get entertained through chain emails. The internet was pretty slow so couldn’t spend too much time. Now I have a phone, iPad, laptop and a tv with internet and have to hide my phone from myself to stop mindless scrolling.
