Before the Web.

Do you remember life before the internet?

My memories:-)

Once upon a time, in the dark ages before the internet, life was a series of endless mysteries. Imagine needing to consult an encyclopedia, a 20-pound tome, to solve a heated debate about the capital of Kazakhstan. Back then, a “mouse” was just a rodent causing a ruckus in your kitchen. If you wanted to see pictures of cats, you had to rely on the neighbor’s tabby lounging in your garden.

Social media? Non-existent. Instead, we had “gossip,” the analog equivalent where news traveled at the speed of whispers. Shopping online was unheard of. You had to actually leave your house, brave the elements, and deal with the trials of finding a parking spot.

Kids had to do their homework with books and libraries, navigating the Decimal System like ancient explorers. And memes? We had knock-knock jokes, passed around on crumpled pieces of paper. Life before the internet was a real-life adventure, one laughable struggle at a time. Liam
