What did you do before you had the internet?

[beebskadoo]

Simple question...What did you do with your time before you had the internet?!

 

My answer:

 

I grew up in a small town and most people there didn't have the internet and neither did I. 

I would practice guitar for 8 hours a day, I sang, I read books and listened to music, ALL without the aid of the internet. oh yeah, and I watched a lot of TV.

 

So about 5 years ago, I finally got internet! (YAY ME!)

 

What's your answer?

[bacosta1993]

[Unhelpful]

I don't remember not having internet. Before I had my own PC I played gameboy and N64 a ton. (I still do)

[felixbearpig]

That was me almost 18 years ago. I remeber playing snes and and going to kindergarden....and outside. Oh boy do I remeber outside

[JupiteL]

I got consoles, play with friends in their house or mine, at home at 2pm after school go out with my bike until 6, that was before I moves out and I know every bit of that place then.

 

Now, it's pretty much just sit on my chair all day long.

Believe it or not, outside is still there. 

 

I got internet access 14 years. Before then I played my games single player, practiced classical piano and hung out with friends. Honestly my life isn't much different today only communication has become easier, I traded the piano for drums and guitar (I kind of wish I hadn't) and my games are now (mostly) being played multiplayer.

[SAV1OUR]

cry in a corner all day because i didnt have any friends till i met people on the internet 

[PillowSmoke]

Outside is a place that is between my house and work. I try to stay as far away from it as possible...

Tv, console, go out and play, LEGO, pokemon cards, tetris and game boy.

Few other things aswell but those above mostly.

And ofc homework and school buy meh.

When did i get internet? Dunno. I had it for awhile

[BigMic]

I had dial up growing up... but that doesnt count since I couldnt do anything Hell, doing an online orientation for my first job took 5 times longer than it should.

 

Basically what everyone else says... Books, outdoors and both PC and Console Games with friends over.

LEGOs

Amazing pieces of technology!

[CtW]

Playing on my DS, LEGOS, ass loads of reading, playing Wii w/ friends, playing Katamari Damacy w/ my best friends, video games on a computer that was not connected to the internet (Starwars Battlefront 2 was the BEST on the old e-machines desktop we had)

[TEDWARDS]

I used to do that thing where we went outside and climbed trees... what even is that any-more

 

Nowadays you walk outside and get aids

[Hoppa]

I used to play with the other kids in the street.

Used to play diablo, pokemon, age of empires, and duke nukem 3d, and a few other games on pc as well as pokemon cards and the digimon devices

Also played with lego, knex and meccano.

[Ryan Leech]

I've had internet since I was 5, but I never really got into it until 14

[Nne ya Tano]

Usually crushing my little brother at vidya on the N64, Playstation, or Xbox. I had a few handhelds, and at least two boxes of Legos to keep me otherwise occupied. My time spent on the computer was using MSPaint on Windows 98 and playing a handful of the games preinstalled on it alongside a few CDs I had of Sega games. I was never an outdoorsy kid; I tried sports like football (the kicking ball one, not the throwing ball one) and basketball, and even gave activities like biking and skateboarding a try. I was happier working with my hands and putting my fingers to use.~
 
I don't think I had internet until 2009, and even then it was dial-up because of our fairly rural setting. I'm astonished that I'm someone who has only been connected for five years. Meanwhile most of my own friends can't even remember a time before the internet. Man, was I late to a party or what?

[JAKEBAB]

well i would usually play rugby with my mates at the oval or ride my bike around town make cubby houses with my mates oh and we use to get pipe and put a balloon on the end and shoot each other with rocks that was fun ah use to ride motorbikes and go skying i still did all this stuff until i got a ps3 and found out u could talk to people over the internet lol then the internet took my life

[mr moose]

Everything I do now of course, except i do it a little better because research is easier. And ebay is like have a giant $2 shop in your loungeroom.

 

But basically on the pc it was single player games, and lan parties.
