    The internet in the 2000s was like a WW1 Trenchline. Noise and graphic content everywhere and one wrong move could cost you life or limb.

    I dont exactly remember when it started getting “safer” because I think the same time the internet was getting safer to browse, a lot of Millenial and Zillenial kids were getting smarter and otherwise learning how to not get malware and worms on their PC

      I remember arguing with my mum over a banner ad that said “congratulations you’re the 1000th person to visit this page, youve won 1million dollars”

      I was really young and I was like mum just put your card in here and get a million dollars its so easy and you always complain about having no money. Its not a scam we just got lucky.

      I am lucky neither of my parents had a credit card or any trust for computers.
