I find it interesting that the "magical period" seems to be determined by your age.

For me, the internet has already lost its magic by the time the mid 2000s came around, well before Omegle came out in 2009.

For me, the magical period was the early 90s, when I was growing up.

In 15 years, are people going to be talking about the current internet as the time when the magic was there?

It seems more about the magic of childhood itself than anything to do with the technology.
