You might be an Internet Ancient if you: 

• remember Netscape Navigator

• ever used any modem with a bandwidth of 28,8 or lower

• had an Early Adopter account on Livejournal

• witnessed the rise and fall of PhPBB

• witnessed the rise and fall of Napster

• used the web before Google existed

• ever used a dialup BBS site

• remember Gopher

• ever downloaded music as .mod files

• remember when about 90% of the web was made up of personal sites which were "under construction" and had pictures of people's cats on them

• remember when Yahoo was literally just a big list of websites

• know IRC commands

• have heard anyone unironically use the phrase "information superhighway"

• can recognise different bandwidth modems by what bleepy handshake sound they make

• have ever received one of those chain e-mails where you have to scroll through about a kilometre of forwarded headers only to find a "hilarious" vaguely lewd image and/or a banal list like this one

Let's not forget that #facebook was a platform originally created to track and exploit the women who went to Zuckerburg's college. If you are on #facebook, I don't think you need any additional motivation to get off of it. #deletefacebook

@resist1984 @nikolal @techit One is sure dear Resist1984... You and I will never chat on the same messaging-service =))))

@resist1984 @nikolal @techit that is what every sane human being would do or not? The point is everybody has different morals and values to check this on.

@resist1984 @techit @nikolal Then I am SUPER evil... I like (and buy) a new iPhone every other year. Christ... I must be the ultimate neo-nazi now!!!

@resist1984 @techit @nikolal And Yes there are many levels of evils. And the only thing you want is that I choose the same level as you.

@resist1984 @nikolal @techit The point is all big Companies do some kind of wrong.

I like a lot, but hey they squeeze that chinese workers how build their iPhones... But which smartphone manufacture doesn't.... I don't want to go back to the clay-tablet..

@resist1984 @techit @nikolal You are moving more to the forrest with that campfire and the veggies on the stick now, you realize that right?

@resist1984 @techit @nikolal But for me "whole of amazon" is not bad, if 1 manager decides to hire the wrong security company. I'm sure this mistake was corrected!

@resist1984 @nikolal @techit That is true. But do you trace that family-owed bookstore to make sure they "were not wrong in the war" too?

@resist1984 @techit @nikolal yes dear resist1984, but if I choose to do not so I end up in the woods with a campfire and a bunch of veggies on a stick. Because all the stuff I use in life could be traced back to something “evil”.
