FWIW, I'm over 40 and was "online" as a teen, first with BBS and then with dial-up internet.

- coldtea 4y agoSure, and one could be 80 and be "online" as a teen on his parent's ARPANET account. But it's not the online kind we're discussing here, where upload pictures of yourself to the web was considered uncouth (as per the parent commenter), because it wasn't considered as good or bad at all, as it was just not a thing people could do at the time (not even BBS users were actually doing that, except perhaps in some incredibly rare cases where someone could get access to a scanner).
- lsaferite 4y agoI was simply replying to your statement, nothing more. >For those over 40, when they grew up there was no "online".
