User blog:Angel Emfrbl/'Net ain't what it used to be.

I remember the olden days where everything was plain and boring, wher if you have one fancy java script the made your mouse do something it was considered "awesome". Where chat rooms were made mostly of teenagers that didn't really chat, where finding a good community was easier and the net was a lot tamer, full of Americans making you afriad to mentin when your not American.

That said, I'd not go back to those days, they were bloody annoying.

But I do find that I'm feeling "old" whenever I go onto places like this since I've been on the net for over a decade. Some things have never changed... Its full of things like the "blackbeard/sing a song of sixpence" myths and the idiots on youtube are even dumber. Everyone is used to the workings of each fandom and knows what to expect. GHalf the websites I knew when I started out like "Elfwood" are not where they once were, and places like Devianart art have taken over, become kings, making these type of places almost forgotten. And as other cultures plug in, we get to see their trends like Pixiv and Nico Nico Douga...

Its more interesting... But the only issue I have with it is just when you come across an idiot in the old days, he had to learn quickly, these days there seems to be no encouragement to be "accurate" with your common knowledge. I guess because in the old days the net was mostly full of nerds and cyber geeks, now pretty much everyone logs on. :-/ One-Winged Hawk (talk) 11:30, August 2, 2012 (UTC)
