ICQ > IRC

Yes, I'm that exact age.

I had an icq too. I have a fun anecdote about it : I lived in small village in the countryside in France and someone from Mexico contacted me, because one of their cousin lived in my village. They gave me their email and I brought it to my friend.

Man, the early Internet was so cool

It was a big village back then. People wished you welcome when you visited their page, with their collection of kitch gifs.

Now it's just a giant shopping center....
