I’m old enough to have experienced some of the analog days, but we were too rural and poor for me to participate online.
I read an article in some magazine back in the day where the author talked about using email, and it did sound so amazing. And then when I eventually had internet access, yeah, when I traded emails with someone in Italy, mind-blowing. I thought the internet would make everyone outgrow small-mindedness!
I suspect cloud storage would have sounded old-fashioned and “mainframe” at the time.
