Before internet...

[slycat]

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, ...

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

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.

the swimming ones, in particular.

 

[Harvey]

I used to own stock in American Tin Can and String.

 

[FatJackSprat]

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.

I wish at times that internet didnt exist too...
