@nonphatic my older brother who was born in '77 had more access to mobiles, internet, computers, consumer electronics in general as a youth because he was bought up by his father in a middle class and fairly affluent bit of south England. Me in west Wales did not get in on it untill I was much older. By which point I was behind many people's nannas.

@nonphatic YES! I feel you. I was born in 91, in a fairly rural area with no landline phone, no indoor running water and 5 TV channels. I had limited access to the internet in the later part of secondary education, and in libraries, which was magic! My upbringing was unusual for the time maybe, but not *that* unusual (apart from maybe the whole water thing). I find it bizzare having people tell me that I have "grown up" with all these millennial tech things, just end up having to explain what an outlier is.
