What did you do...BEFORE the internet?

[aschere van she]

I was a little kid. Little kids don't give a fuck!

TLDR; I didn't give a fuck.

 

[Superfly2008]

I was born late 89, and got the internet around 1998/1999 when i was 8/9 years old. Back then, even though we had a computer, we didn't get online much. If I did get online, it was like on cartoonnetwork.com, movie/video game websites, or AOL Kids. Before that time however, i used to play my Playstation that i got in 1997, and before that i just used to play with my toys, or watch tv/movies or something...

I sat in my room reading books by the light of my oil lamp.

TV, outdoor stuff. Hmm, I was a boy scout if I remember.

Played sports, NHL 98, computer, Nintendo, Genesis, Super Nintendo, tag, chase, went to parties, got drunk, work, etc. So yeah pretty much the same as now.

You do know that this thread is over a year and a half old, right?

Shame on you, necromancer! Shame on you!!

 

[Screamarie]

Begged my brother to let me use his Sega and I read pretty much. And watched cartoons...lots and lots of cartoons...Also I actually went outside. I...can't really remember those days, don't want to remember the horrors of being outside. I hate to think of the sun. *shudders* How did I not die under its rays?

 

[game-lover]

Mostly books. I loved reading. A whole lot.

I frequented the library on a regular basis to get more and more of them.

That's about it. Never did enjoy being outside so that was a rare occurrence even then.

I dont even remember creating it..I freaked out for a second when I was my name in the "OP box"

 

[Launcelot111]

Read books, play with my dogs, walk around in the woods hitting old dead trees with sticks, play basketball with myself, find sweet bird's nests and make a collection, and occasionally play some Game Boy. The pre-internet days were pretty fun

 

[Moderated]

I've always had internet, I think. Well, I remember having a computer, but I don't remember going on the internet until I was at least 6 at the new house.
I played N64, hung out with friends, played, etc.

 

[Kuilui]

I was born in 1989 but I never really understood what the internet was till I was like 14. I mostly would just play sports, play outside a lot. I had a pretty decent amount of friends, I was outgoing. The only time I used the internet was to play games like age of mythology but other than that I just didn't bother with it. Than I fell into the nerd crowd because they had similar interests to me and started playing halo 2 lan parties (This was before xbl was really around) and Resident Evil Outbreak online. Got xbox live a little later on and basically stopped going outside and started blowing off my friends. My group of friends destroyed itself and then I spent the rest of my time on the internet if I wasn't at school and well here I am.

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

A time...

Before the internet?

What lies are these?

I has always had the internet...

Always...

*Gets into the fetal position and weeps.*

 

[Glaber]

TV, a lot of TV.

 

[CrimsonBlaze]

Well, I was a kid when the internet started getting popular, so I just did kid stuff.

Play video games, go outside and play, climb trees, plays sports, make things with Legos, Play-Doh, blocks, and construction equipment, watch VHS movies, cartoons, ride my bike everywhere and go to the park.

 

[Mel Theofficegamergirl]

Pretty much the same thing I do today. Play video games, write reviews, make artsy stuff. That's about it. I live a simple life.

Maybe it was a you from an alternate past in which you created this thread instead of that other one, you know that one.

Quiet! Lest the shadows whisper its name and pull that abomination from the very fabric of the ether and doom us all!

I was quite a bit younger so obviously I had different wants then I do now. I played outside quite a bit, took a lot of long walks and did general kid stuff of picking up a stick and pretending it was a sword. I read a lot, way more then I do now, thought a lot of the books I read were either pappy sci-fi or crappy fantasy. I played video-games and watched lots of TV.
