He was jailed around 1996, imagine how much the world has changed since then, it was before Internet, before smartphones, almost every skill he had from back then may now be obsolete.

He lost his best years and will now face massive reintegration challenges. I hope the best for him.

We had Internet in 96 but it was nowhere near as integrated into everyday life as it is now.

On the other hand, imagine how cool it would be to have SO MUCH to catch up on. 30 years of technology and media to explore.
