About this episode

On today’s episode of Ten Hundred, we pause for the 25th anniversary of September 11th and ask: where were you when it happened? We share our own memories and reflect on how different the world felt then, especially when it comes to technology and the Internet. No smartphones in every pocket, no social media feeds, no instant group chats…just dial-up, early message boards, and a lot of confusion about what was actually happening. Then, we pivot to the classic school supply list from our childhood. Why did we all need individual hole punches? Who decided glue sticks were a core survival tool? What's the deal with paste?
