Seven eras, one card
The eras are the 1980s home computer, the 1990s dial-up and CD-ROM years, the 2000s flip phone and pocket music player, the early 2010s smartphone and social feed, the late 2010s streaming box and smart home, the 2020s laptop office and AI assistant, and a future that is still a guess. Each choice leans toward one of them and leaves a smaller mark on a paired era. The bars show the whole spread, not only the winner.
A tech soulmate is a pairing, not a runner-up. The beige desk pairs with the future, because both of them treat a new machine as a doorway. Dial-up pairs with remote work, because both watched a network move into the house. The flip phone pairs with the first glass slab. The percents are yours. The pairing was chosen ahead of time.
What the card is, and what it is not
The result is a personality read of habits and taste. It does not know the year you were born, and it will not tell you which gadget to buy. The look of each era is color and type only: phosphor green, a beveled gray window, a glossy pocket blue, a feed-white card, a dusk living room, the linen of a kitchen-table office, and a pale future border. There are no product logos and no borrowed pictures.
Copy gives you one line with the era, the match, and this page. Download draws that same result on a canvas in the browser and saves a PNG. Neither one sends the answers anywhere. Finish the quiz and this browser keeps the choice ids so you can open the card again. Clear deletes them.
If you would rather practice a real habit than a personality read, the Tech Myth or Fact deck, the Password Habit Quiz, and the Digital Footprint Check stay in the browser too. Prompt Battle is the one about writing a better prompt. Phishing Inbox and Choose Your Own Hack are the scam practice. The scam call simulator plays fictional phone calls as text, including a voice-clone family emergency, and it never places a call.
FAQ
Does this upload my answers?
No. The quiz runs in your browser and does not send the answers anywhere. The only thing saved is the last completed result, as choice ids in this browser's local storage. Clear removes that saved result.
How does an era win?
Each choice gives points to one era and a smaller number to that era's soulmate. The era with the most points is the card. If two eras tie, the one you picked more often wins. If that is also a tie, the earlier era wins. The bars are each era's share of the points, and they add up to 100 percent.
What is a tech soulmate?
A paired era, chosen ahead of time, not a second-place trophy. The 1980s pairs with Future, the 1990s with the 2020s, and so on. The percent next to the soulmate is how many of your points landed there.
What does the downloaded card contain?
The era name, the match percent, a short description, the soulmate, and the bars. The browser draws it on a canvas and saves a PNG. It does not include a logo you do not own, and it does not send the image anywhere.
Where does the last result live, and what does Clear do?
Only in this browser. Finish a quiz and the result replaces whatever was saved. Clear deletes that saved result from local storage. Clearing site data for cyberscryb.com removes it too. The quiz does not ask for an account.
Does the result tell me what to buy?
No. It is a personality read of the habits you picked. It is not a history exam, not advice about a purchase, and not a claim about the year you were born. The colors are original. There are no product logos on the card.
