No, I didn't actually have YouTube videos in high school, I had whatever the internet at the time used for the same purpose. DivX and real player videos downloaded over the phone line, and AOL messenger for chatting. That's why I didn't say "I" and used the generic "you".

I didn't expect someone to read that as a historical detail as opposed to a point about the type of mental context switching high school students do.

I'm not that far out of my mental prime, I'm just far enough that I'm noticing it.
