Remember the good old days when you had to wait for the newspaper to find out the sports stats from the game the night before.
Remember how the newspaper was your only source of news.
If you needed information, you had to physically go to the library or look it up in the encyclopedia.
If a band was performing in your town, the people in your town were pretty much the only ones going, now you are in competition with the whole world for tickets.
Penpals used to be a great way of communicating with people in different countries, and it would only take a week or so for your letter to get there.
Recipes, advice and instructions were only available in magazines and books.
Music and movies were only available at select outlets which were filled with people. I used to have to stand in line to pay bills and do my banking.
SPOILER ALERTS didn't exist, no one knew anything about tv shows or setlists before they actually saw the event.
Adult material was only on the back shelf or in a darkened store in the seedy part of town, now it owns the internet.
The internet is definitely one of the most life altering things in the evolution of human behaviour. Right up there with the wheel, electricity,telephones, motors, airplanes, velcro,teflon and juice paks.
