I don't think that the internet even existed when I was 12 as anything other than dial-up modems and a collection of bulletin board systems. It wasn't until I was in college that the 'modern' internet came online. I didn't have my first "smart" phone--and I'm using that term very loosely--until I was in my 30s.
I also remember when Windows 3.1 came out, and oh boy, that was neat! Suddenly I didn't have to program batch files to configure memory in order to play games!
