I began using email about thirty years ago.

That was back in the golden age of the internet, or the start of the golden age of the internet, which I think think spanned from 1995 to 2005: before social networks and uni-design came to dominate everything.

Ninth or tenth grade was when I got that first email address, via Hotmail. I’ve tried to re-find or reclaim it, but long gone.

Some people don’t email. Which is too bad. Because it is universal. There’s no propriety app needed. You can send to anyone. A brilliant format for communication.
