So what's the threshold for being online-born or offline-born?
I was born in the early 80s, but didn't become aware of the existence of a thing called an "Internet" until the mid-late 90s. So I can recall a time when there wasn't a thing called an "Internet". Does that make me an offline-born?
On the other hand, since discovering the Internet, it's been an integral part of my life. Though I understand that society actually managed to somehow exist before the Internet did, the concept still feels somewhat alien to me now. It is like reading about the Dark Ages in a history book. Things couldn't have truly been like that, could they? Does that make me an online-born?
Am I both?
