Best old school perk is doing all your stupid kid shit at a time where cameras weren't ubiquitous.

Or at least not permanent.

I grew up in the early 2000s and while starting somewhere around 2005 cameras and the first social sites became a thing, nothing of that exists today. Myspace and SchülerVZ (German Facebook clone) were super popular, but don't exist anymore. Camera phones didn't have an easy way to export photos and most hard drives from back then just died at some point. There's hardly anything left. And that's a good thing.

I do feel bad about the younger generations of today. It seems like every part of their life is recorded or streamed now. I'm not sure how comfortable I would have been with that, when I was their age.
