I’m 53 years old, of course I remember life before the internet.
I graduated from high school in 1989, which means it was still the 70’s when I started school. We had things called libraries that were full of books you could use to lean things. We had newspapers. I actually had a paper route for a while. We had news on TV that wasn’t propaganda for a political party. You could actually almost trust what you heard on the news. Most of it, at least.
When you wanted to meet new people you had to leave your house. When your phone rang you had to answer it. Can you believe that shit?
When you wanted to watch a TV show you had to wait until a specific time when it was being broadcast, and you had to tune to a specific channel on a television that had an antenna on it.
Yeah, there was life before the internet. I was there. It was oaky, but the internet is better. I mean, you wouldn’t be reading this literary triumph of a blog post without it, so clearly having the internet is better, right?
Right?

Having the internet has pros and cons but I love your approach here

We are really the last generation to grow up with television shows being event programming. Even now, every now and then when a really good movie pops up on cable TV, I will stop what I’m doing and watch it.
My boys are 17 and eight. And when they were young, they truly did not understand that you couldn’t just skip over the commercials on “regular TV“

Agree 💯 now whatever news I watch on my phone I have to first check if the news is really true or a fake news.

No internet meant limited choice for news and entertainment. The big question has been whether the human brain has adapted enough to handle such overload of info.
