I’m hunched over in my shimmering velour hoodie, watching the loading bar crawl across the screen as I finally ditch dial-up for high-speed broadband, feeling like a total newbie trying to figure out how this tiny USB drive stores more than a floppy. My Nokia 3310 keeps chirping with texts while the news anchors drone on about Florida recount drama, but I'm just staring at the blue glow of my PlayStation 2 and wishing I had a metallic Razor scooter to hit the mall.
Between the hum of the disc drive and the neon glare of the TV, the world feels like a blur of low-rise jeans and pixelated graphics. Everything is changing so fast I can barely keep my trucker hat on straight.
