So what do you? 00:00:54 Jack Think about that. 00:00:56 Xochitl Jack, I think it's very interesting because we grew up in different ages. I basically am part of the generation that's called natives where we grew up alongside technology. So I can't remember a time before computers and Internet. 00:01:15 Xochitl Yeah, maybe sometimes I think I remember, like, the dial-up screeching. I'm. 00:01:19 Xochitl Not 100 on. 00:01:20 Xochitl It I think there were cell phones. I remember there being like Internet and computers when I was a child like even before. 00:01:31 Xochitl The age of 5. 00:01:32 Xochitl And my earliest memories involved technology. 00:01:35 Xochitl But I also did. 00:01:36 Xochitl Grow up in a time where we still would go and play with the neighbors and stuff like that. I don't know if kids do that as much as as we. 00:01:44 Xochitl Used to and Jack I think sorry Hun. 00:01:46 Jack To interrupt. 00:01:47 Jack You. But yeah, when I was growing up as a. 00:01:49 Jack Kid, we literally. 00:01:50 Jack Just ran out of the house in the morning. 00:01:53 Jack And our parents didn't know where we were, and there was no way for them to to contact us. Just. 00:02:00 Jack Hope they come home. 00:02:02 Jack And that was it, you. 00:02:03 Jack Know, yeah. 00:02:04 Xochitl I still kind of grew up in this because we, like my dad, had a cell phone and stuff, but we didn't have cell phones until we were like 13. I think cell phones were already around, but like, my parents didn't let us have them until we were 13 until I was 13 and my sister was like a little older. I. No, I guess when she turned 13, she got her first. 00:02:23 Xochitl Son. And then I got. 00:02:25 Xochitl And my friends 13 but. 00:02:30 Xochitl As a little kid, like a little little kid under the age of 10. And I would remember waking up in the morning also and running out of the house and I would yell at my mom, I'm going over to Linda's house or whatever and she's like, OK and then we run over to the next door neighbor's. 00:02:44 Xochitl House and like. 00:02:45 Xochitl Bring the door to talk, I mean. 00:02:47 Xochitl Can you imagine? 00:02:48 Xochitl Parents were just so tolerant of this. 00:02:50 Xochitl And like either the kid would come out. 00:02:52 Xochitl Directly or your parents would come. 00:02:54 Xochitl And be like, hey, what's? 00:02:55 Xochitl Up and you'd be like. 00:02:57 Xochitl Hey, can, like Landon come out and. 00:02:59 발표자 3 OK. 00:03:01 Xochitl Blah blah come out and play. Maggie, come on and play like and then they would come and you would like, run over to the park together or ride your bike to the park and just cause mischief. We got into some good crap, but yeah, that was my experience as well. 00:03:17 Jack OK. Yeah. So our our experiences are not that different. I mean I I never had my first computer till I was 26 years old or 27. So you know, I never really. 00:03:30 Jack UM. 00:03:32 Jack I mean, I had a computer, but I never really had the Internet. Like I I never had access to Internet till I was 26. 00:03:37 Jack 27 so
