What was it like growing up in the 80's and 90's ?
You are the last to have known a childhood without the internet, what did you do back then for fun?
How did the internet/WWW change things? Do you think life is now better with?
Did 9/11 have an impact and kill it all off?
I was born in 93, so a little too late for you, but I didn't get my first computer until I was in high school we didn't really have any money for it when I was young so I kinda can answer your question.
I mostly went to the park for fun as a kid, we played pretend picked up a nice stick and pretended it was a sword. Played with action figures or played Nintendo, pretend was what I mostly did as a kid we pretended anything pretended Pokemon were real, pretended I was Goku.

Forgot to answer this
yeah internet is great there's so much on it. i like looking at products made in Canada America Britain Australia and New Zealand. My goal is to replace everything I own with only Anglo made products, I don't use the internet often for fun stuff like games, I don't get social media I guess because I was a late bloomer for all this stuff when I got my first computer I mostly played runescape I don't even own a computer today I don't see a point in having one. I think overall it made things worse though, too much porn too much degeneracy people watching murder videos and porn theyre getting desensitised to everything
It was garbage. Shitty TV, 2 channels. One radio station. Expensive music. Everybody was poor.
Well on the upside people hanged out more, since you had no means to communicate. Just walked around until you found playdates.
Had to search the woods for porn loot. Only domestic vacations.
That's literally 1950's Canada kek
I'm technically Gen Y but most of my childhood was pre internet.
The internet was fine before retard normies learned how to use it. Now it just cheapens human experience and human interaction.
The internet was a mistake.
Only old farts will remember.

To expand on this basically before the internet, and early on, when there were very few locals to be found on the internet, your acquaintances were a circumstance of geography.
People of varying political beliefs, religions, etc, would be friends. Because disagreeing with people wasn't the end of the fucking world.
One time I met this proto-feminist chick off of the internet, and we went out for coffee, and we talked about abortion and our different stances on it. And we agreed to disagree, and we kept in touch and that was normal.
There was no "search by interest" when it came to human beings.
People who were especially socially awkward would set up interest meetups of course (even before the internet) but it was gay, because they were always echo chambers filled with people who might as well have been carbon copies of one another, and back then that was a bad thing.
I was born in 84. I remember being in the Lego maniac club, getting a Lego catalog, filling out and order form and enclosing a money order, then waiting like 2 months for the Legos to come in.
