Discussion about this date:
The birth of the hashtag! I have such fond memories of this period. The Internet seemed more "free", if that makes sense. Social media apps weren't really a thing. There were no cookie pop-ups, GDPR messages, copyright strikes, or AI-driven algorithms to deliver content to your "feed". You logged onto your favorite website on a PC or laptop and then logged off again when you were finished. YouTube videos consisted of Windows Movie Maker effects and pop rock songs. They were awful, but I feel quite nostalgic about them now.
