us 90s kids grew up when the internet was actually a legit mind expansion tool and not the clusterfukk of corporate overconnectivity it is today
This. The internet didn't become an obsessive almost necessary crutch until the mid 00's, if not later. From 8th grade to a junior in HS (00-04), my cell phone was strictly to call my parents to let them know when I'd be at the bus stop and not much else
. Can't blame us for that mess, you probably gotta blame the gen born from 94 and on, the generation that literally type in the exact words into google to complete their assignments, the ones that don't at all know the struggle of either having to read an entire book to do an assignment, or trying to do the best paraphrasing possible
