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.
What did you do...BEFORE the internet?

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?
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.

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
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.
A time...
Before the internet?
What lies are these?
I has always had the internet...

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.

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.
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.
Are you me??!!Vault101 said:
I was born in 1991, I watched loads of TV and played my N64 when I was young and didn't really use a computer untill I was 10 or 11. And that was to go to the pokedex site to check at what level certain pokemons evolved in my Pokémon Red game...
As for internet usage, as said started with the pokedex site and then I used it to play B:net WarcraftIII maybe between the age of 14 and 17 and after that I started actually finding stuff like Youtube, Escapist, Cracked and some other sites I no longer visit. But my usage of Internet as in collecting data and reading/watching funny stuff didn't start untill pretty late.
As for what I did, played with friends sports and games outside and then on our consoles together, which I still do.
