Yeah, it's surreal. Back when the Oregon Trail Generation got their first 486 class PCs with 14.4 dialup, all the safety guides were about "never use your real name."

The fear of some theoretical elite AOL pedophile corps and being able to age out of an embarrassing "ponygirl1987" account actually made good prep for the idea of "you have multiple identities for different contexts" and "keep personal and work stuff isolated."

I'm not the first to say it and I won't be the last, but it just amazes me how the older generation went from "never post your name online, never upload a photo with your face on it, and always be skeptical of things you see on the internet" to "I have to give this sketchy website my credit card info because a guy on Facebook told me...." and then the most bonkers conspiracy theory you have ever heard.
