I clearly remember it, I think you might be my little brother’s age.
Currently there are about 8.2 billion people on earth. When I was born it was just under 3 billion.

This was my first console
Pong, right?

White dog shit was a thing when I was a kid

I was there, at Cape Canaveral, in the audience, when Challenger exploded. I had just finished Jr. Space Camp, and decided that if stuff like that was gonna happen while I was around NASA, then maybe I should look for an alternative career path.
Tiny me’s first computer game ever played:

My schools did active shooter drills when I was in K-12 school in the US
I vividly remember seeing a show on TV very young, in a hotel room. It just happened to be on. When I saw it again, older, I realized it was the TNG pilot.
