One Last Gasp

A news site* recently called GeoCities a "vintage Web hosting site". How can things that happened when I was old enough to think erections were hilarious be "vintage"?

The Internet has clearly warped our sense of space and time. We need new terminology, new ways to describe what is "old" and "new" in terms of the micro-time that the Internet uses to discuss these developments. I want a witty reference to Kurzweil, or some terrible play on "antediluvian" (though anything that came before Twitter can definitely be said to have come before the flood...).

*one I follow on Twitter, whose post has sadly been lost in the deluge
