A little bit about me: I did experience life before the internet; I have indeed used a card catalog and microfiche. So what I detail below isn’t nostalgia for a time I never knew (though that’s okay and understandable), it’s my brain being kinda overstimulated and me trying to source some of the things I got rid of over the years as tech became shinier and newer. The leap from a Motorola Razr flip to the first iPhone was a heck of a lot bigger than the leap from an iPhone 13 to an iPhone 15.
