10 Examples of How Different Life Was Before The Internet
Before the internet, life was very different than today. Although some things have not changed like eating, other aspects of life then are unrecognizable today.
1. Amazon was just a river
Mention Amazon back then and no-one would ever have thought about an online store. Today, the mention of Amazon will most likely make you think of the store first long before the mighty river — how things have changed.
2. You taped music off the radio
Long before Spotify, mp3's, or peer-to-peer file sharing existed, you had to either save up some money to buy official copies of songs or tape them off the radio.
3. You had to live the house to socialize.
4. Pre-internet dating was very different
5. Encyclopedias, the library, and Encarta '95 were google
6. Web design were exclusive to archnids
