I'm guessing the OOP was born early to mid 80s.
Could even be late 90s or early 2000s in some places
Born in 2000, my parents had a computer (running Windows XP) but it was only for work. Went over to my friends' houses to experience the information superhighway.
I did it being born in 94. It wasn't about who has access to the internet, it's that I wanted to hang out with my friend in person like a normal 10 year old but the Internet was the coolest thing to do at the time.
Hell, friends and I were doing it 2008 in college. 6 or 7 of us all gathered around a single 24" monitor watching the latest episode from Nostalgia Critic or something similar.
One of things I miss most about my college years was when I lived off campus in a rambling old house with a bunch of friends, and we had an entire room for our PCs - so we weren't crammed around one monitor, but we were physically hanging out together while each using their own rig. Permanent LAN party, for three years!
83 baby here. Perfect timing. Grew up during the early internet, before Facebook and phone cameras. No such thing as online bullying and nobody could film you getting beaten up.
Not necessarily, I did that as a kid in the late 2000s. My friend's parents had an old mac in their basement that we would play flash games and watch stupid youtube videos on.
