in addition to pre-internet brain, and internet brain, certainly there's a web one and web two, is it, brain...I do notice as a Long Time Resident here and having tipped quite a lot of my psyche into it, years ago...there's an early internet brain and a later internet brain. I know I definitely, DENIFITELY thought and learned and interacted differently pre-internet, no shit sherlock, uh-huh...but I also notice I thought and learned and interacted differently in Early Internet, specifically here

tl;dr: please send me something surprising in a box :)
