It's always been like that I think... I guess the only difference is that I've noticed I'm doing it too now. But I think that's only because I now have a past to be nostalgic about. Perhaps the same is true of HN / tech communities more generally. Tech as a sector was much smaller a couple of decades ago. And many of us probably only got our first computers in the late 90s early 2000s. I'd argue it was until the 2010s that the internet really become ubiquitous. I'm guessing a large segment of us have only recently been able to talk about past technology in any meaningful way.
