Oh and Happy Birthday BTW

[Blueflight]

Happy Birthday. I was born in 1991 personally and turned 20 a few months back.

People born in the late 80s/early 90s are quite a unique bunch I feel. We've seen the rise of globalization happen before our eyes, yet we can still remember a simpler time when things were still simple and separated. Most of us have grown up with the internet and have seen the changes happen to it over the years and in a way it has grown up with us as well.

We'll probably be the last generation to be able to tell our children how the world was before everyone was connected to everyone else, and how entertainment wasn't just a method for corporations to earn money.

In 1992, there wasn't much in the way of internets at all.

I love internet, I think it's maybe humanities greatest invention yet. I've got some super
old-ass people in my family (100+) who tell me how things were for them and for their parents in the late
1890s-1930s in the US. Especially for woman, things have changed for the better.

Age of consent/marriage is no longer 10.

We got the right to vote.

Arranged/forced marriages are no longer the accepted norm.

Equal rights to pursue education regardless of gender.

Right to choose to divorce.

Right to remain owners of our property and inheritance.

Right to choose to use birth control.

Right to be employed and have personal income (still working on that pay disparity).

Right to wear pants or anything else we want for that matter.

Don't forget the right to have an abortion.

Is that guy playing on a Kinect?

Sorry, TL;DR. Happy Birthday though.

[digitalhardcore]

[GuardianTK]

And 1989 = Berlin Wall



There was also no Wireless Internet. Nothing but the sound of the phone being dialed when you were looking to get internet.

shouldn't this be in off topic, this isn't the appropriate place for this, it's mindless dribble. Who follows the nobel prize? this is the kind od self indulgent crap you see in O. Henry? best american essays.
Yes things changes, what is your point?

[Rutana]

Holy crap, I'm old.

Same year, but not feeling old at the slightest

[Shanden]

To everyone wishing me a happy birthday, thank you.

To everyone else that is commenting without seeing the nature of the post, i posted this in hopes that our community here on the fourms could handle a simple question witch is asked at the end of the long read.

[Tsurugi]

Whoa wtf

[Talvis]

1981 BABY! Wow a lot of you are making me feel old.

[llzarrockll]

[ExDarkrb]

He was just curious to see what people of this community think as well. Idk why some of you guys are being rude >.>

no one is being rude, you are just too sensitive...

[AtlasThunderbeef]

No regrets? Jesus, I'm 90' and I have a ton of regrets. Atm I'm trying to get my life on a cord I'm content with and shooting for the world.


I guess people have very different upbringings.

1985 eh ultimate?

[Macromega40]

1985 here too, yeah, makes feel old, but young in spirit and mind.

[Oda]

Such younglings ITT (born in the year the Jedi returned). 1992 is the year Batman: The Animated Series debuted, so it was a pretty great time to be growing up. Pres Clinton played the sax on the Arsenio Hall show, later to be parodied on the Animaniacs. Most of all I remember the riots here in Los Angeles, scary...but nebulous and far away.

My life wasn't perfect (who's actually...), and there are surely a ton of things I could've made better.
But in the long run?
No, I wouldn't change anything.
Every bad thing you had to cross or bear or overcome made you to the person you are today.
And if you like the outcome - why should you regret something?

[Mowi]

My whole life is one big regret after another, but being sad about it does nothing to fix that, does it?

So I choose to waste every day doing whatever makes me happy at the time. Working alright so far!

Edit: Just realized something...

Happy belated birthday, person who made this topic!

Just noticed this thread... Darn, I thought you were still jailbait.

[Akami]

I miss the days I had before I discovered the internet. All I cared about was how much time I had to play outside before the sun went down.

1992 is the year Batman: The Animated Series debuted, so it was a pretty great time to be growing up.

I remember watching that every day after school. So awesome.

Ahh the 90s... I don't know if it's because I was too young and I couldn't realize, but I think 90s was the age of non-brainwashing or milking customers. The days you offered a good service, and you were innovative and weren't trying to offer a product the majority of people don't actually *need*, for a good amount of money. (I'm mostly thinking about the usage we make of cellphones today )

Also remember all the old cartoons. Man these were great, even today. The old ones I mean. The new ones are.. crap <.<; Not sure why.
