Windows 1.0

The very first OS, not DOS, of Microsoft's computers, it was't a big hit, but it can also be known as Windows 1.01 a few days after it's release. The system came in a floppy drive that you can insert into a computer to read and will load the OS, it wasn't a really great operating system, as it was only really availabe to huge businesses and wasn't at first intended for home use. It was also declared too old to be running after Windows XP's release date.

Windows 1.0:
Prodecessor: None
Successor: Windows 1.1x
Release date: November 20, 1985.
End of support date: 2001

Gen Z 1.0

People born between the years 1996 and 2003

Started school during the new millennium/new century (both starting on January 1, 2001) and also during the Bush administration, grew up with 2000s media (TV shows, video games, music, etc.), spent most or all of their high school years before the Covid pandemic, can remember the Recession and how it impacted the world, grew up with social media such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter and not Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok. They do not participate in crazy TikTok challenges either.

Gen Z 1.0: "I remember the 2000s. Hannah Montana, High School Musical, Webkinz, Club Penguin, Nick before they got rid of the splat logo in 2009, pre-2010 Cartoon Network, late 2000s era of AMVs and YTPs on YouTube, etc. Ahh, good times...."

Gen Z 2.0: "Yo chat, wanna see how many baddies I can rizz up while I snort all dez tide pods? I finna play Fortnite after I see dat gyatt. Also, I stole a bunch of shit from my local high school because I be doin' da devious lick challenge"

Gen Z 1.0: "I can't believe we're the same generation as you..."

Kardashev Type -1.0 Basic Civilizations

A hypothetical sub-type representing a civilization that harnesses energy on a scale smaller than its home planet, perhaps confined to a single region or ecosystem. This could describe a pre-industrial human culture, an intelligent species just mastering agriculture, or a society recovering from a planetary catastrophe that knocked it back from a higher type. Their energy signature would be virtually undetectable across interstellar distances.

Kardashev Type -1.0 Basic Civilizations *Example: Medieval Europe, the ancient Roman Empire, or a newly sentient alien species living in the canopy of a single vast bio-tree, drawing energy only from local food chains and primitive fuels, would be classified as a Type -1.0 civilization. Their horizon is their valley, not their world.*

Kardashev Type 1.0 Planetary Civilizations

A civilization that has achieved complete mastery over all the energy resources of its home planet. This means harnessing all incoming solar radiation, geothermal heat, tidal forces, and atmospheric processes, effectively controlling the global climate and weather. Energy is abundant, post-scarcity begins, and the civilization becomes a unified, planetary entity, likely with a single government or no government at all.

Kardashev Type 1.0 Planetary Civilizations Example: A Type 1.0 civilization on Earth would have vast orbital solar arrays, geothermal taps into the mantle, weather control to prevent disasters, and cities powered by ambient energy harvesting. Think Star Trek's Earth: no poverty, climate is managed, and all energy needs are met cleanly.
