I guess I’m curious about generations (namely GenZ and Alpha) who didn’t live in a pre-Internet time. Like,

  • How was the concept first explained to you, or when did it click?
  • Do you understand how insane it is to have the aggregate of all human knowledge — the only comparable thing once being a physical library or university — one search away? That it’s absolutely insane you can engage in a real-time conversation with someone on the opposite side of the world? That you can find niche communities in an instant?
  • Were your parents super strict about internet usage? How quickly did you find workarounds?

    A lot of things have changed in 40 years, I wouldn’t rely solely on those books.

    Ex: the approach to airflow/insulation. Previously we tried to make our houses as sealed up as possible for energy savings. Well we kinda learned that fresh air is actually needed so build 90% of the house as leak proof as possible, then the last 10% is designed to let in fresh air while trying to maintain the hot/cold air temperature.
