For not sending binaries by email - there is no shame to being young in this case as it means never developing the bad habits.

Before Dropbox and similiar it was far more a norm and various file sharing systems like SharePoint may wind up not actually used. Non-computer technical people often do so in companies all the time and practically use it as an ersatz version control system to the cringe of IT.

There was also a time when alt.binaries was a thing (technically not email, but usenet is pretty similar)
