I unfortunately didnt remember much in this era when everything was so nostalgic and bubbly looking. but when I got to see what this era experienced it almost makes me jealous lol, everything looks so refreshing and just a safe place for children to learn and experience the internet back then.
Oh it was not. I did grew up in the 2000s and the internet was hideous, also it wasn´t safe at all for ANY minority i.e, as a queer person it was horrible. BUT it was kind of the last breath of air before the corpo dystopian nightmare we live now.
@@nimlouth that’s fair lol, I don’t have any information about this era besides the colorful bubbly images I see and the music back then. I completely forgot that back then it wasn’t even remotely safe for young audience. Still, it was a nice thing to have before we got to this point of brain rot and stupid AI. Can’t believe how the internet turned out within the span of 50+ years
God, how much I really miss this era, it really made child me think that the future seems promising and clean, that our only worries would be taking care of the enviroment and expand beyond the stars. But rather than this make me feel sad, it motivates me to contribute at building this type of future I always wanted, even if that means I might just be able to witness it in my elder years. This aesthetic makes me feel so safe and alive, fitted so well for children back then :)
@@CaesarH3ll i agree it was definitely the perfect aesthetic for a kid, i’m happy that you still see the vision for the future and working towards making it real 🫧🪼🐠
The early 2000s were known for an almost-saccharine level of technological positivity. Social media was yet to exist, and by extension the term "doom-scrolling" did not exist yet. The Internet was a developing resource, populated mostly by experienced users but also recently new and eager children who had to learn netiquette. The name of the game was F O R U M S. Everybody had a forum-based conversational style. Unlike the Discord of today, where content is hidden behind membership and unsearchable by the main Internet, everything was neatly organized by date and topic. With that said, cyber-bullying was starting to become a problem -- I THINK trolls weren't really a name given to miserable people online yet, so typically any negativity you found was from Gatekeepers who felt YOU didn't belong in whatever internet sphere they occupied. Companies in tech were pushing a sleek, clean, eco-friendly aesthetic and everything was rainbows and chocolate chips. Paying for things online was a luxury that was JUST starting to be explored, so other than maybe eBay or an early Amazon (Jesus Christ...) the expectation is that if you wanted something you could find online, you wrote down the name of physical store you could get it from. It was a naivete of the internet that led to our unfounded positivity towards it. We only imagined a better, interconnected world where Internet would usher in a hitherto unseen utopia of free thought and empathy. How childish we were. Literally everybody was trying to "how do you do, fellow children??" With their advertising. You'd just see cereal boxes with like, Tony the Tiger or the Froot Loops toucan saying "WE'RE ON THE W E B!!" followed by a tiny "...ask your parents permission before visiting our site". But it was funny because like, you could tell these corporations thought we were idiots -- when they said shorthand stuff like "The Web" they'd oftentimes accompany that phrase with a literal drawing of a spider's web. Also I distinctly remember Fox News around this time passing along cringeworthy ""news stories"" about how text speak was rotting children's brains, so they'd have segments where they'd go "let's break down common texting acronyms -- LOL means Lucifer Our Lord" So pearl-clutching was also in abundance.

what is this era known for?
Early 2000s. Dolphin was the codename for Gamecube and 40% of all computer mice had a plastic clownfish inside.
The early 2000s were known for an almost-saccharine level of technological positivity. Social media was yet to exist, and by extension the term "doom-scrolling" did not exist yet.
