Example:
>want to troll somebody for their religious beliefs
>have actually to say it to their face

Mail,phone,graphitti etc.
I am 32 and remember google becoming main stream ie; google it
becoming a normie meme
i remember talking with friends about youtube and sharing videos on aim
what was scary though, calling someones house for the first time. calling a girl and having to ask for her when her dad picked up the phone. when you picked her up having to go into the house to meet the parents for a chat before leaving the house.
That was pretty frightening
then though, there were cool things. Rumours and urban legends were at least partially believable. Your friends were your friends and you knew it, because you saw them outside of school and work. You physically were around them, or you called each other for a talk. That shit was fun.
Also, people knew themselves a little bit better, there was a level of self awareness that just doesn't seem to exist now, you didn't get to make up who you were as a person online and glean satisfaction for something that wasn't real. you either worked hard at something to earn it, sometime it was given to you too, but you didn't just get to make up a fake life that you were not acctually living, i guess there was a different level of accountability
