Right now, I'm a video game and physical media collector. Half a century ago in a pre-Internet era, I would have likely been a sci-fi nerd with a bedroom covered in cyberpunk posters and shelves of Issac Asimov novels.

Had I been born in the mid-30s, I would have been able to work an autist-friendly job, make money, have a career, meet women that I actually had a chance of fucking, have a sex life, and perhaps had a family of my own. I could have bought a home (or two) before the prices went batshit in the 90s.
I'd have enjoyed the films and music of the day over many decades. Without the web, I guess I would have been into books and magazines more.

my early adolescence would've been marked my the Korean War, if i didnt have such a fucked up eyesight i'd have been drafted for the Vietnam War

All my life I'd be paranoid of the Cold War and its implications, I'd do my best to prepare for the worst and just do my own thing
By 40, I'd probably live in a cabin innawoods and occasionally drive my truck into town for supplies
other than that, I would'nt wanna be a bother to anyone else
