From AIM Shenanigans to T9 Texting w/ IVY

#142: Ever wondered what it was like to navigate the wild, unregulated internet of the 90s? Join Ivy and me, as we share laugh-out-loud stories from our risky adventures in early chat rooms and AIM, where Ivy, under the alias "Skater Girl 98," lied about her age to seem cooler. From dodging the hazards of Limewire to the exhilaration of chatting with strangers, we marvel at how we emerged unscathed from those digital escapades. Tune in for a light-hearted, nostalgic look back at our youthful misadventures and the lessons we learned.

But that’s not all—our conversation continues as we reminisce about the evolution of communication technology from landline phone calls to the era of texting on T9 keyboards. Reflecting on how our generation straddled both the pre- and post-digital divides, we share cringe-worthy tales from our rebellious teenage years, including an ill-fated attempt to sneak off to a heavy metal concert. This episode is filled with humor, nostalgia, and a reflection on how communication and teenage defiance have evolved. Don’t miss out on these entertaining anecdotes as we take a trip down memory lane!
