Before internet...

So what did all you people do before the internet?...before surfing, before chatrooms, before forums?
Basically not that long ago...perhaps 10yrs...so most people should be able to remember...

did u have more or less life?

For me, I was still on the computer a lot, but working/learning about programs...etc.
I was also busy in college, had more in-the-flesh human friends, went out more...
also played console games more, ...
 
10 years ago i was in high school and had the internet (if you can call AOL that). but before that, i played video games.

I AM part of the Nintendo Generation! w00t!

Or I played outside...played sports...watched baseball...
 
didn't get internet until like the 8th/9th grade. before that i just read a lot, mostly nonfiction scientific/electronics stuff. i'm a true nerd.

Then turn the damn thing off and go outside. No one is stopping you.
 
I ran a 2 node BBS with Renegade 10-05 software. it was mad l33t with
nice ansi.

I also putzed around on prodigy, compuserv services and other BBS's.

I remember them good ole days.

 
I played on BBSes before I found the internet.

I still play on BBSes to this day.
 
10yrs ago I was in first school.

I played a lot on my SNES and owned SF:II and the various games on it. Super Gouls and Ghosts PWNED me though 🙁

Didn't go out as I wasn't allowed as I was 9. Watch tv. And did my sports.
 
I was still in undergrad ten years ago, so of course all of my activities were focused on girls and somehow connected to beer. 😀

It takes a lot to get me out of the house now, which I have attributed to getting married and being older but now I'm wondering if I should blame the internet instead.
 
I would sit up all night programming in Commodore BASIC instead of programming in PHP/Perl/etc. like I do now. In other words, not much difference.
