childhood AFK moments

Unavoidable compared to AFK moments after reaching adulthood, childhood AFK moments are cause by at least one of the following causes: a) The screen time limits imposed by parents, b) Going to K-12 school campuses with strict restrictions on smartphone usage like requiring students to collect smartphones during school hours, which in itself already causes daily AFK moments, c) Raised by the family who cannot afford screen devices like smartphone, and d) Growing up in rural areas with poor Internet signal reception.

Growing up in a rural area meant I had plenty of childhood AFK moments—between school rules and no internet, I was often offline and didn't even mind!

AFK tribe

Groups or communities, such as the Amish or Baduy, that consciously choose to go AFK from modern technology and societal norms, opting for a lifestyle that embraces simplicity and traditional values. The term "AFK" (Away From sKreen) reflects their decision to step away from contemporary conveniences.

The AFK tribe lives by their own rules, prioritizing community and nature over the constant buzz of technology that defines modern life.

AFK-er

An AFK-er (pronounced "AY-eff-KAY-er") is a person currently experiencing AFK moments, i.e. the inability to have screen time to watch YouTube. There are certain risk factors of being an AFK-er, e.g. being born into an AFK tribe like the Amish or Baduy tribe. In addition to that, being of young age (read: still being a child) also increases your risk of being an AFK-er due to external factors like screen time limits imposed by parents.

Ever since his family moved to the countryside, Jake has turned into a total AFK-er—no YouTube and no gaming, just chores all day!

AFK

"I'll be AFK for a second, but I'll be back for the next round."
