Thank you, for sharing your perspective in such a relatable and personal way, that is really nice of you! Was the voice chat program maybe called chat roulette? Because I still remember when that came out in 2009. I also still remember having quite similar experiences in 2000 myself, when the mp3 sharing application called Napster came out. It had a built in function for text based chat, with the people you were sharing music with. I had long chats, with strangers from all around the world then and It felt absolutely crazy at first. Once, me and a dude from a tiny Caribbean island even sent burned cd roms with mp3s to each other per mail, because while I had a dual ISDN, his internet connection was much too slow to effectively share mp3s via Napster.
Oh, no I have no idea what chat program it was. It probably was Chat Roulette but I've never used it. We didn't have video for the chat, pretty sure her connection was DSL/Dialup, our area was very rural and streaming live video would have been like borrowing a flying car from the Jetsons.
That's so awesome you traded CDs with that dude. I wonder if the internet changed too much and fewer people have these personal connections with random strangers, or if people are just scared of weirdos online now. We were absolutely aware we were playing with fire (which is why we waited until my friends parents went to sleep lmao).
