I looked back on my life using 'SF and Computer Technology Lifeline,' a timeline that lets you quickly see 'what grade I was in when I encountered that SF or event.'
A web application called ' SF & Computer Technology Lifeline, ' created by Koya Matsuo of TechnoEdge, allows users to compare the history of science fiction and computer technology with their own life stage by entering their birth year. It can determine what kind of 'internet old-timer' you were, such as whether you experienced unlimited internet access in high school or Hatsune Miku in middle school, so I decided to try it out.
What kind of 'Internet old-timer' were you? I created a timeline app that lets you enter your birth year and learn more about yourself (CloseBox) | TechnoEdge

This is what the lifeline of science fiction and computer technology looks like.
First, enter your date of birth and your career path.
Below that, under 'My Events,' enter the year and details, then click 'Add' to add your event to the timeline.
The timeline summarizes the history of science fiction works and the history of real-world technologies. Click the triangle icon next to the event name.
Then, the item will expand, allowing you to read the event details.
The button in the upper right corner allows you to switch the display of events on the timeline between science fiction works, real-world technology, and your own personal experiences.
My 'early childhood' period is from when I was born until I started elementary school. I remember starting to use my parents' PC when I was 5 years old, and also touching a Nintendo Famicom for the first time at a friend's house in the neighborhood, so I've registered those as personal events. Another event I remember that isn't listed is when
Looking at the timeline from my elementary school days, I remembered seeing 'Jurassic Park,' 'Toy Story,' and 'Independence Day' in theaters. I especially remember being moved by the scene in 'Independence Day' at the end, as described in the timeline, where they 'inject a computer virus into the enemy mothership using a Mac terminal,' thinking, 'I can't believe the same macOS that I have on my PC is playing such a role in a battle against aliens...' Furthermore, 'Neon Genesis Evangelion' was airing in 1995, and the gap in its story continued until 'Shin Evangelion Theatrical Version:||' was released in 2021.
Here's a timeline of my experiences during middle school. I registered the purchase of a PlayStation and a cell phone as events that happened to me. My first cell phone was a J-Phone.
I got my own PC during high school. Around that time, Skype came out, and I remember using IRC and MSN Messenger for text chat and Skype for voice chat for a while afterward.
Here's a timeline of my time as a university student. I bought an Xbox 360, and Nico Nico Douga (a Japanese video sharing site) launched that same year. I remember the original 'Idolmaster' being a hot topic on Nico Nico Douga, which brings back memories. I also remembered that my first smartphone was an iPhone 3G.
Once you become a working adult, you encounter events like the emergence of 'Minecraft' and Instagram. However, looking at the years, these events happened over 15 years ago, and I was shocked to realize, 'It felt like it was only about 10 years ago, but it's really been that long...'
