Somehow the family computer always ended up with five search toolbars nobody installed on purpose.Tiny, budget laptops were everywhere for a few years, and then they vanished almost overnight.A separate navigation gadget with a suction cup was the high-tech way to find your way.Listening to every message one by one, in order, was just part of owning a phone.Nobody really knew what a poke meant, but everyone did it anyway.Borrowing a charger was nearly impossible, because no two phones used the same plug.Everyone in the house took turns, and anyone walking by could see your screen.Spelling every word with numbers and missing vowels was considered a skill.Plenty of adults are still living down the silly email address they made at 13.
