Born prematurely in 97 and always having been a bit more "mature" than children my age, I was basically born right in the middle of two generations.
I remember mobile phones with antennas, my first phone still had one, but I also remember the introduction of smart phones when I was still a child. I remember very old consoles like the Game Boy Color, grew up with the original PlayStation and the Super Nintendo, but I also remember "modern" games such as Call Of Duty 2 and Need For Speed Underground (1 and 2) which I both played on my PC as a child.
I remember the internet before tube sites, YouTube with the star rating system etc. but also remember the release of Instagram when I was still in school.
I feel out of touch with teens these days, but wouldn't say that I'm a millennial either. What astonished me the most was how fast the internet grew. I remember being the nerd and getting bullied in school (elementary) for playing PC games all day and browsing the internet, but these days, that's what everyone does, even guys and girls who were born in the eighties. Back in 2000, around 200 million people have used the internet, and these people were mostly IT-professionals, curious adults, or "nerds". Nowadays over 5 billion people use the internet. It's crazy.
I don't have much hope for the future. I know that society as we know it will collapse sooner or later, and I'd rather have it happen sooner than later. Right now European people are still in the majority in Europe, but soon the demographics will shift so much that our average IQ will move closer towards 90, then 80, and then 70 (pre-historic or borderline-retarded levels) ... it's all just a question of birth rates. A society with an average IQ of 80 or lower will be barbaric and backwards. The same applies to the US.
Since IQ is largely inheritable, Europeans (average IQ 92-104) mixing with Africans (average IQ 50-80) and Middle Easterners (average IQ 80-90) will lead to a sharp decline in intelligence and, over time, to a total collapse of advanced civilisation.
