@Iscariah:

I am 76 years old.

I remember NOT ONLY what life was like before the Internet BUT ALSO what life was like before television!

you know what, I was thinking this very thing this morning! I was going to write it as a discussion thread but you beat me to it. :p I think the Internet is a tool,  like any other, and can be used for both great and terrible things. but the worst thing in my view is how people find it so hard to put down and live without it for a while - especially younger people. i grew up as the internet was in its advent so it doesn't dominate my childhood memories, and i think most kids would be better off if they messed around outside first and internetted later in life, when they've learned to control their own use of it.. there's more outside in the world than just Facebook!

Hello, thanks for this interesting topic!

Life before internet it really was but now it's hard even to imagine it)))

People can make choice, to have something in real life or in virtual. After work my colleages like stay and play at games in social networks, I prefare to play at real life, sport gives this chance!

Unacceptable to have better part of life virtual)))

I remember it very well because I started to use internet very often only two years ago. Before I used the phones when I wanted to chat with my friends and I had lots of time for reading books and my hobbies. I got an information from newspapers, magazins and from TV, but to have internet now it is very convenient 

I remember playing video games with friends and doing a lot more outdoor activities, especially in the spring and summer.
