2009 is a breakpoint
>36% of Americans had a Facebook account
>20% of Americans had a smartphone
>Number of widescreen LCD panels surpassed square LCD panels in US
>Digital game sales hit 20% in US
Second half of 2009 seems like a breakpoint and all of these cancer(which started in 2008) spread in to general population for first time. If you only consider young population(-25) all of these statistics would be x2 or more.

The breakpoint was 2014

by 2010 basically everyone had a smartphone in my skool
I only got mine in 2017

2012 is when everyone in my family got a smartphone and that was also the year I touched an iPad for the first time

Teens abandoning friendster (asian Myspace) for facebook here aswell

For the third world
In the 2013, everything was changed in the US and Europe already.

Facebook and smartphones didn't become a problem until 2014 at the earliest. Facebook was mostly used for socializing and smartphones were just phones that you could watch porn and play fruit ninja on. Even Twitter wasn't that bad until that time period when everything switched to being a mindless machine whose sole purpose is to get users to spend as much time looking at pointless bullshit instead. Zoomers not using the platform also fucked it because they're the users that would actually drive the focus on the social part and instead of the media part.

I don't get what you were saying.
Could you say how they have changed Americans?

The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act passed in 2012 allowed the US to use state grade propaganda on their own citizens. Jews were mad at Occupy Wall Street and the following years were a subtle pacification of their goys by slowly weaponizing technology to become more invasive, pride/globalist propaganda began, feminism was heavily pushed, social media/compulsive internet use became ubiquitous etc. The result is a vastly different societal consciousness than even a decade ago.

I made my Facebook in 2009. I was in 6th grade

>2001-2003: post-9/11 era replaces 90s optimism
>2007-2009: web 2.0 social media takeoff

>2019-2022: framework for todays pandemic, conflict, and AI dystopia

I'd say smartphones became comom for teenagers around 2011 for my age group (born 1995-1996).

It's been depressing seeing how the Internet has changed in my lifetime. The bit about centralisation is very true.

These images made by a zoomer like you. Nobody used Iphone, Twitter, Tumblr or Facebook in 2007 and first half of 2008. Not even Americans. Also they were so primitive compared with 2010.

>>212920948
2007 was the turning point, not when it was going to shit at full speed. by the time you had high school roasties talking about scrolling twitter on their iphones after 2010, it was fully over.

>>212921282
In these images they tell you like it came in 2007 and suddenly became part of our lives. It's false and stupid.
There was a chance that they would be disappeared like Google Glass, Metaverse or Apple Vision if nobody cared them. Unfortunately corporates pushed that products with very strong PRs so they became popular in a few years. Like how Google Chrome replaced IE and Mozilla Firefox. In just 3 years.
