📟 Which Internet Era Do You Belong In?

Every generation of the internet came with its own sounds, rituals and small obsessions. Some of us remember waiting for a modem to scream its way online, while others grew up tapping through colorful app grids or watching clips that loop until the sun comes up. This quiz looks at the habits you reach for without thinking: how you talk to friends, what you save, what you share, and what makes you stop scrolling.

Answer ten quick questions about everyday choices, weird hypotheticals and the kind of things your friends would actually say about you. Your answers will place you in one of five eras, from the early dial-up days to the endless feed of short videos. Take it quickly, trust your gut, and then argue with your friends about whether the result fits.
