I'm old enough to remember that when there was no internet:
- Bad profiles like WebzForevz or Wuggolo didn't exist.
- Bad content like ElsaGate or disgusting DeviantArt things didn't exist.
- Illegal systems used by Web2 platforms didn't exist.
- Memes like Rickroll didn't exist.
- Online communities like furries, object shows or countryballs didn't exist.
- Good profiles like Lionel Messi's didn't exist.
- Terrible websites like Wikipedia didn't exist.
- Decent websites like Encyclopedia Britannica didn't exist.
- Internet-first works like Inanimate Insanity didn't exist.
- Innovative internet inventions like cryptocurrencies and blockchains didn't exist.
Gen X is the last generation to remember like before the internet.
Migration from physical media to digital media can't solve any digital flaws, as storage drives can fail, which you would lose everything.

Rolex is the Apple of luxury watches.
Louis Vuitton is the Apple of luxury fashion.
Nike is the Apple of shoes.
Lacoste is the Apple of polo shirts.
Disney is the Apple of entertainment. View quoted note โ
Some object shows try too hard to be scary, for example in an episode of Object Connects you can hear a character playing the scream sound from Jeremy Winterrowd's The Maze, which is actually an edited sound effect of Regan MacNeil (Linda Blair) from The Exorcist screaming that you can hear in the actual movie.
I feel physical musical instruments are more natural than virtual instruments, and if you compare both of them, they sound different.
Similarly, actual cameras are more natural than phone cameras, and if you compare them, they look different.
I started using old stuff in general when I wasn't old enough to study at school that time, and the first old thing I ever used was some vintage animal plush, but I don't know what decade it was made.
Windows is good for average computer user and serious gamer alike, but it faces serious security threats.
macOS is good for Apple enthusiasts, and is more secure.
Linux is good for open-source enthusiasts, and is even more secure.
Proprietary software is a software in which the source code is only accessible to a small group of people: developers who developed the said products and services. Its support relies on its dedicated support teams, whom can help their costumers through their official support channels.
Open-source software is a software in which anyone can use its source code, although it's not as user-friendly as proprietary equivalents. Its support relies on its userbase, where they help others on the forums and so on, as individuals or small companies with no dedicated support team are behind their development.
