This is a preview of a bonus episode! Find the rest on our patreon! This week, we’re joined by journalist and author Amelia Tait, to talk about the early moments of life online that shaped who she is today. We talk about early MSN messaging and the ways that print-outs could be weaponised against your childhood opponents. We also talk about Amelia’s latest article in the New Statesman, which investigates why so many people think that the concept of time is ‘different’ now, and whether there’s any scientific truth to the belief that time is now faster than it used to be.
