What was life before 9/11 like?

My adult siblings who were 90s kids/preteen/teenagers said life before than was simple. My bro said the late 80s were great but he was only 6 in 1989.
I was born after 9/11/2001 so I wish I could have live life before then.

Life was the same but different. Things are always changing. Some little baby now will tell you that you grew up in the best of times.

Americans didn't know or care much about terrorism. Anyone could freely walk into airports all the way up to the gate. We did not feel any particular hate or fear of Muslims. The internet was in its infancy so many people even younger people did not have it.
Cell phones were more expensive and plans were super pricey by the minute and could not take photos and had horrible screens that only showed numbers and letters.
The world was less in your face about sex. It was still highly sexual but more so today
And much much more.
