I've also had the dubious pleasure of being somewhat behind the times when it comes to technology. Not as much as some, but more than others. In any event, call me Kim.
I suppose it must. I take it you've met someone to whom it mattered?
well you're not alone, one of the first people i met here was an extremely hot victorian i was in 2019 which is bizarrely the past for some people anyway
i have. she didn't say as much but i could tell
( giving her a bunch of dumb middle name options to fill in for the one her mother never bothered to give her was maybe slightly insensitive but she'd laughed so it couldn't have been that bad. )
Come to think of it, there seem to be a surprising number of Victorians about. I'm aware of 5 of them. I'm personally only slightly further along the timeline. Though I suppose I was born Victorian. What's the furthest date you've heard?
chev is 1600 something. i don't know. i disappoint my french great great grandfather because i don't give a shit
( Daniel is not a history guy, safe to say. )
there's definitely more of my kind than yours. modern types, that is. i imagine getting used to this shithole is a lot harder from anyone before the turn of the century
Late 1600s, in fact. Though I did mean furthest along, not furthest back.
And I'm sure it is. I suppose I'm lucky to have had at least some exposure to more modern technologies. I can't say that I enjoy how telephones have developed.
