    I was born in 1987, and I am fascinated by the immense differences between growing up in different decades. For you, I guess 9/11 and the insane transformation of the world that followed will be the same kind of memory that the collapse of the Soviet Union and the insane transformation of the world that followed is for me. The entire world changed, and it is difficult to even explain how everything was different before. Then with kids who were born in 2007/2008, the internet matured. When you grew up there wasn't really internet for 5-year-olds. Next decade, everyone is online all the time. It's a part of forming their earliest memories. And then today we have kids whose earliest memories are all Covid restrictions. If history hadn't ended before you were born, it would be fascinating to document this somehow.
