What did you do before the Internet?

[FrostyBoy]

I was playing games when my parents worked. But what the hell did they do during work? I can't imagine working without the Internet, for both work and leisure purposes. I think I would be bored to death without it and as clueless about the world as the neighbours cat.

I'd have to go to the library to learn stuff!

I remember a conversation I had with my boss once, he said that he can't remember at all how he used to run the business before the Internet. (Which started in 1978!)

The internet has existed since before time, there is no before internet. Fool.

[Julian Delphiki]

Played, watched lots of demos, used BBS's & did 3D rendering stuff (with Lightwave mostly).

Nowadays i rarely bother to use computer that doesn't have internet connection - maybe as a music/video player sometimes..

[Nugog]

I went outdoors.

Strangely - I found work much easier before the internet - and email in particular.

[Pekka]

I did sports - a lot.

Wait. What happened?

[Julian Delphiki]

Too much fresh air is not good for you. Go to China instead.

[MarkG]

had potential

[BeBMan]

I ususally have a coffee before logging in

[OneFootInTheGrave]

I used to live... now I just remember how it was...

[Julian Delphiki]

Also, had lot less porn. I don't think anyone would like to go back to dark ages.

Work.

[MikeH]

Went to school.

[Lorizael]

I read more. Played more video games. Went outside more. But before the internet also coincides with before I became depressed, so it's difficult to see anything other than correlation.

[Theben]

Played civ1.

[Straybow]

Beat me to it. I also played Civ2 for 3 years before I had internet.
