Where were you in 1997?

I was just a little kid in 2nd-3rd grade. Life was much simpler back in the late 1990s.

do explain how was it living without internet and most importantly google route

blackarcher256 · 61-69, M

@NinaCherry Laugh….before Google…there were these books called encyclopedias, and a place call a library that together held a good portion of the world’s knowledge. You went to the library….yes physically, in person….and looked up stuff.
