Remembering life before the internet

Do you remember life before the internet?

80’s

In the years I grew up, I didn’t grow up with the internet. We all played outside, either playing games like kick the can, tag, or basketball or football. Back then, we were really into sports and running around. My cousins and I would spend a great deal of time outside, doing activities outside. It was a simpler time back then without all this technology.

90’s

I graduated from high school in the 90’s and when I graduated we still didn’t have Internet. We had to rely on libraries and books to do research and had to rely on the librarian to sometimes find books. If we did not know the dewy system or the card system. It took longer to find the book you wanted but it worked somehow. We would have to read books instead of staring at the screen. It was a different time. Now information is at your fingertips anything you want to know, you can get instantaneously. Back then, we relied on books.

Cellphone

The first cellphone I had did not have Internet. It was a Nokia and I still have it. It is old.

This is my first cellphone back in the early 2000s.

Final thoughts, back before the internet in the 80s and 90s, we had to be more creative to stay busy, with sports or going to the library to do research on a specific subject. It was a simpler time, now if you walk into any school or job they expect you to know how to use the internet. We are high tech now and only getting more techy. Thank you for reading.
