raptorddd Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 just as the tittle says. if you could choose when would you have like to be born. i think i am in the right time. because i watched how the world has evolved. like video games not sure what a kid that was born 10 years ago feel about games. that i mean was i watched evolved from the atari 2600 like basketball game the person was just like made out of 3-4 lines. to now be able to acturally see their shoes in great detail. i think you appreaciate more hhow games evolved. new technology was coming out and that was exciting. and also i can say i lived when there was no cell phones.. i was out playing with friends. you had to go to their houses if wanted to talk to them. theres this time where i would of also liked if i had live like in the western era. in the 50's too i was born in the late 70's and love it.. but i also think about how things would be in the future with technology how far we would get as human species. whats yours.? 2 dell precision m4600 i7 2760QM 8GB ram MX500 crucial SSD 500GB. win 10 21H2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpro69 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Past couple years I sometimes have a feeling that people who are currently in their 60s-70s are quite lucky. The future at present seems very uncertain and the world is heading down a wrong, self-destructing path at an ever-increasing pace. Not sure how much we have left, as civilization... I've had a pretty fun childhood, less tech, more outdoor time et. al., so in that regard I don't think I'd want to be born later in time, with all the Facepoops/TikToks/Twatters and rest of the bunch, brainwashing everyone around, while I still haven't developed my views on things and learned to avoid social media at large. I can very much relate to having to go over to a friend's house to get them out, instead of just texting or calling or whatever. Fun times... I also sometimes pictured living in older times, western, medieval, or even earlier, but I'm not sure the reality would be as fun as TV and games are portraying it Quote "Born too late to explore the Earth, born too early to explore the universe, born just in time to browse dank memes" 2 GitHub Currently and formerly owned laptops (specs below): Serenity -> Dell Precision 5560 N-1 -> Dell Precision 5560 (my lady's) Razor Crest -> Lenovo ThinkPad P16 (work) Millenium Falcon -> Dell Precision 5530 (work) Axiom -> Lenovo ThinkPad P52 (work) Moldy Crow -> Dell XPS 15 9550 Spoiler Senenity / N-1: Dell Precision 5560 i7-11800H CPU 1x32 GB DDR4 2,666 MHz 512 GB SSD NVIDIA T1200 FHD+ 1920x1200 PopOS 22.04 Millenium Falcon: Dell Precision 5530 i9-8950HK CPU 2x16 GB DDR4 2,666 MHz 1 TB SSD NVIDIA Quadro P2000 UHD 3840x2160 Ubuntu 22.04 / Windows 10 LTSC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron44126 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Born in mid-80s. I consider it to be a good time to experience technological progression. I am able to remember what the world was like before the Internet and cell phones, experienced the world of the early Internet and dial-up, and broadband was mainstream by the time that I went to college. Still a long way to go, too. Lots of "dangers" but lots of potential for progress as well. I do miss the days when computer specs were doubling every couple of years. Things have flattened off a lot. Funny how I have come to think of myself as an "old school" tech guy. I prefer spending time on my laptop over spending time on my phone, I prefer forums like this to big conglomerate sites like Reddit, and I don't consume social media and have never spent any time on TikTok. I also appreciate being able to experience the progression of video games; I missed the Atari, but definitely remember spending a fair amount of time with the NES. I am a bit wary of the games that kids are into nowadays ("live service" / microtransaction style games seem to be in the mainstream). Though on the flip side... I've been playing through some older games with my kids and they have never, ever complained about bad graphics, ha. 2 Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch, 2023 (personal) • Dell Precision 7560 (work) • Full specs in spoiler block below Info posts (Windows) — Turbo boost toggle • The problem with Windows 11 • About Windows 10 LTSC Spoiler Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch, 2023 (personal) M2 Max 4 efficiency cores 8 performance cores 38-core Apple GPU 96GB LPDDR5-6400 8TB SSD macOS 14 "Sonoma" 16.2" 3456×2234 120 Hz mini-LED ProMotion display Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.3 99.6Wh battery 1080p webcam Fingerprint reader Also — iPhone 12 Pro 512GB, Apple Watch Series 8 Dell Precision 7560 (work) Intel Xeon W-11955M ("Tiger Lake") 8×2.6 GHz base, 5.0 GHz turbo, hyperthreading ("Willow Cove") 64GB DDR4-3200 ECC NVIDIA RTX A2000 4GB Storage: 512GB system drive (Micron 2300) 4TB additional storage (Sabrent Rocket Q4) Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 15.6" 3940×2160 IPS display Intel Wi-Fi AX210 (Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.3) 95Wh battery 720p IR webcam Fingerprint reader Previous Dell Precision 7770, 7530, 7510, M4800, M6700 Dell Latitude E6520 Dell Inspiron 1720, 5150 Dell Latitude CPi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
