I Remember Life Before the Internet

I was a kid in the 70s. I had to use my imagination when I played. Video games did not exist then. Neither did cds or dvds. It was a different time. We had to think to figure things out. Like how yo count back change. If something cost $3.61 and we have the clerk a $5.00 we had to manually do the math in our heads to get the the right change. $0.39 =$4.00+$1.00=5.00. Now registers figure that out automatically or someone pulls out their phone.

We had to think for ourselves before the internet. In a way the internet made us dumb. But I’m glad we have it.
