Life before the internet was made a household necessity was a lot more simple. People had to actually think for themselves and do real research. It was a time of exploration, getting kicked out of the house for 3-4 hours a day after school so one could experience the outdoors and real social interaction. Best of all it was the era of thick skin; getting bullied was a right of passage and kids either grew stronger because of it or grew up to be office dorks and yes men. Oh to be back in the 70’s and 80’s...

I don’t think I had a real computer until ‘83 and the internet I don’t think showed up until AOL which maybe was around 85, but it wasn’t a household thing until the 90’s really as far as I can remember; at least not for me anyway.
