Moody Thinking

As we transition, my thoughts are lingering on signs that I am now officially a grown up. Here are some internet specific signs that I am old.

1. The funny email addresses I had as a teenager seem pretty dumb now. Could you imagine a 30 year old with an email address like “feelnmoody”. (I did not realize this email’s opening for off-color jokes when I set up my first hotmail account.) This applies to usernames as well.

2. I still remember when it took a good 5 minutes to load a website. I was a lot more patient when I was younger, or I was a lot more distracted. Either way, I now get frustrated when a page takes time to load.

3. My most visited pages are news sites instead of video game sites or professional wrestling sites… Don’t judge me, I loved the Wolfpack.

4. I actually think before writing now (Note: This is not always true).

5. I have no idea how to use the new acronyms and I do not care to learn. The old man in me also hates it when people use them in person, you know, if in person conversations are still around. (That is my generation’s: “GET OFF MY LAWN!”).

I’m sure there are more, but it’s in the afternoon and I need to go take a nap.
