I just realized that my formative experiences with Reddit predate most current Redditor's formative experiences with typing.
Well, I joined my first online forum in 2003-ish. I remember explaining what Google is to classmates (and to the teacher) in elementary school, having to spell it out because of the weird name. But yes, you're pretty spot on.
Fun fact: I graduated college a few weeks before this came out. This was the hot phone that year. Yahoo was the search engine you used if you didn't know about Altavista.digital.com. "Wireless" was what the British called radio. eBay was that bullshit beanie baby site and when you wanted to pass a note in class, you wrote it on paper as texting didn't exist. There were no laptops in class (fun fact: students couldn't really afford color laptops until my junior year; the people I knew with laptops had monochrome) and anybody rawkin' an AOL email address was a hopeless newb, not an old-schooler.
