Right, so I joined the Liberal Democrats following the Brexit vote. One of my favourite albums is now absolutely ancient. Some kid would be thinking that now about OK Computer, if only they thought to set foot in something so archaic as a record store. I can remember being in Virgin Megastore in the 1990s and seeing a 20th anniverary edition of Dark Side of the Moon. But even so, this was an album from my childhood that was now being officially celebrated as a classic. I didnвЂ™t buy OK Computer until four years after its release. I found the reissue of OK Computer significantly more exciting than the release of their actual recent album, A Moon Shaped Pool. And while weвЂ™re at it, letвЂ™s bring back asbestos, Pogs, cathode ray tubes and four-star petrol. Is this the first step towards my becoming the 2050s equivalent of a Brexit voter? Being a child of the 1990s, am I just predisposed to always assume that all the best stuff came from that decade, and that everything that came after it is confusing, frivolous or dangerous? Maybe it is hopelessly old-fashioned of me to assume that a technology from 30 years ago that I just so happened to grow up with is the answer. Now I think the only answer is to encourage everyone to ditch those silos, and work on forming their networks - independently, on the open web.Д«ut webbies with this sort of attitude seem to be mainly a certain type of person of a certain age. Like many others, I was naively optimistic about the positives of social media. It has become clear that social media is having some seriously damaging effects on society, as some of the original architects of Facebook now admit.Д®ven a few years ago, I would have considered rejecting social media as a fuddy-duddy attitude. I sent very few Snapchats of my own, and received even fewer, before uninstalling.ДЇast forward to this year, and I have found myself growing increasingly wary of all controlled forms of social media. WhatsApp later became a staple, but mainly to communicate with AlexвЂ™s family. They all used WhatsApp to talk to each other, and they frequently used Snapchat. But when I met her four years ago, it was immediately obvious that the way she and her friends used social media was almost totally alien to me. Alex is only three years younger than me. Developing a dislike of social mediaДЄdmittedly, this one has been a bit of a slow burner. Here are some of the turning points that made me realise I was no longer down with the kids. But for some reason, the year I became 31 is the year I started to believe I would never feel young again. Turning 30 passed relatively without incident. 32 is also equal to 1В№ + 2ВІ + 3Ві, which is kind of cool.ДЄs I look back on the past year, I realise it is the year that I came to feel old. ItвЂ™s the fifth power of two, so in binary terms I will now be into six figures.
