There’s an anime this season about this, called “16-bit Sensation: Another Layer,” where a novice game artist bangs her head in a donut shop in Akihabara and wakes up in 1992.

She wanders ver to a small company making video games, and begs to work for them because it’s new years, it’s cold, she’s got nothing to her name, the NFC thing on her phone that lets her use the train doesn’t work here, and the batteries on it and her tablet just died. One of the workers looks at her tablet and says, “Is that a PDA?” And another replies, “Nah, it’s way too big.”

She’s got to figure out how to scan line art off paper, transfer it to her NEC PC-9801 via 5.25” floppy, and color it on a machine with 16-color graphics (“actually 15; the system reserves one color” says a coworker) and a mouse, dithering by hand, when all her experience is creating art directly on a Cintiq clone. She almost breaks down crying when she learns there’s no Undo command.

I’m watching this knowing this is set when I just graduated high school, the Intel 486DX2 was the best thing, and 66 MHz CPUs were blazing fast. Babylon 5’s team were just starting to work out how to do their special effects on Amigas with Video Toasters. And all that was incredible technology compared to when I was growing up in the 70s, with the 8-bit Atari 2600 and Channel 3/4 Selector Boxes and 300 ohm antenna screw terminals on TVs for the UHF antennas.

We’ve reinvented reality so many times already. Are we sure it’s better, though?

we were the liminal kids. alive before the internet, just long enough we remember when things really were different.

when i work in preschools, the hand signal kids make for phone is a flat palm, their fingers like brackets. i still make the pinky-and-thumb octave stretch when i "pick up" to respond to them.

the symbol to save a file is a floppy disc. the other day while cleaning out my parents' house, i found a collection of over a hundred CDs, my mom's handwriting on each of them. first day of kindergarten. playlist for beach trip '94. i don't have a device that can play any of these anymore - none of my electronics are compatible. there are pieces of my childhood buried under these, and i cannot access them. but they do exist, which feels special.

my siblings and i recently spent hours digitizing our family's photos as a present for my mom's birthday. there's a year where the pictures just. stop. cameras on phones got to be too good. it didn't make sense to keep getting them developed. and there are a quite a few years that are lost to us. when we were younger, mementos were lost to floods. and again, while i was in middle school, google drive wasn't "a thing". somewhere out there, there are lost memories on dead laptops. which is to say - i lost it to the flood twice, kind of.

when i teach undergrad, i always feel kind of slapped-in-the-face. they're over 18, and they don't remember a classroom without laptops. i remember when my school put in the first smartboard, and how it was a huge privilege. i used the word walkman once, and had to explain myself. we are only separated by a decade. it feels like we are separated by so much more than that.

and something about ... being half-in half-out of the world after. it marks you. i don't know why. but "real adults" see us as lost children, even though many of us are old enough to have a mortgage. my little sister grew up with more access to the internet than i did - and she's only got 4 years of difference. i know how to write cursive, and i actually think it's good practice for kids to learn too - it helps their motor development. but i also know they have to be able to touch-type way faster than was ever required from me.

in between, i guess. i still like to hand-write most things, even though typing is way faster and more accessible for me. i still wear a pj shirt from when i was like 18. i don't really understand how to operate my parents' smart tv. the other day when i got seriously injured, i used hey siri to call my brother. but if you asked me - honestly, i prefer calling to texting. a life in anachronisms. in being a little out-of-phase. never quite in synchronicity.
