CPU = A10 6800K (@4.3Ghz) / GPU = HD 8670D (@844mhz/ram@1866mhz) - 2016 ≠ Dual Cores - why learn Linux ? - OLD intel x4 cpu (Q6600) + amd HD 7950 - this is what i think on watts x dollar cost - CPU "bottlenecks" only start to show "at the super high end cards" (like the 390) if you have a 4 cores CPU

I don't remember much; I think I was about 6 when we first got dial-up.  Didn't even have any game consoles until ~4 years after that.

 

All I remember was playing so much 3D Pinball and Pole Position on that old Windows 95 machine...

I used to read books all the time. I also used to play Pokemon Ruby on my old Windows 98 PC with an emulator.

Internet has been in my life for almost 20 years, before that my friends and I used to record ourselves on the tape recorder (had no video camera). We would do lines from TV shows, movies and songs sometimes. Once I got my first PC we did the same thing but on the PC. Then we got a webcam and made dumb movies. I still do...

 

We went to the video game arcade and played all the cool video games. Tekken and Area 51 were my favorites. Went to the movies a LOT. A matinee movie was only $3 so even as a kid I could usually come up with $3.

 

I may have been in school and there may have been homework, but I don't remember. I have gladly blocked every boring aspect of my early live out of my brain. :)

Life without Internet? I've had internet since I can remember. First online game I played was Warcraft 2. The internet has always been a part of my life. I just have a life outside the internet also.

I used to build computers, repair old dos boxes and play with cars.

Better in my opinion, I actually used to go out a lot and hang out with friends. Reddit is now my life.

I still see the sun on a daily basis and I have never owned a console yet, so I don't think those changed very much. I have stopped reading and watching TV since I got a PC though and I do feel like I was able to focus a bit more on school work.

I played a lot of Baldur's Gate. I remember doing research projects in elementary and middle school with the encyclopedia set that my parents owned. Sometimes I'd get frustrated because the info they had on a particular subject was seriously lacking and I had to write a whole 5 pages (double spaced) on it.

 

I played lot of sports when I was younger and most of my summer days were filled with playing in the woods of PA with my friend. We'd also ride quads and dirtbikes a lot. We'd explore and build forts in the woods with sticks. We even built a 3 story tall "tree fort" with the help of his dad. It was... SO safe. *Sarcasm*
