TV and radio used to shut down at the end of the night and video recorders weren't common yet. There was no internet so the only thing you could really do was read books.

there was always an 'internet'. it has to be connected to, ask the intranet about this.

(some will think this is a joke, ask the diode how it helped this along.)



now, if you mean the commercial ISP invasion days of the intertubes... ask bellatlantic and at&t.


(this will tell tale apart those who think they know what they're talking about and those who were there and done their research.)

Well I've always had dial up, but that wasn't really fun to be on. So I went outside, watched TV, played video games. Hung out with my family. Stuff like that

Commodore 64 and Atari 2600 on the big old floor model 27in tv that claimed "stereo sound" but it sucked

I used pegions to take letters for me

Kids used to play outside.

Talked to people and went outside

TV mostly....bike ride,gym..etc

I ruled the Gallactic Empire.
