  1. It you missed a TV show, you will have to have someone tell you what happened or just never know.

    Friends will make claims of secrets in video games and you would try to do it and see if it was real. They almost never were. But looking back, it was a fun way to stretch the life of a game.

  2. Gaming has been a lot worse with the internet. Now you can hardly find a game that doesn’t try to sell you something. You used to buy complete games. It was not not assuming you were connected at all times.

  3. I used to listen to the radio a lot more. Somehow I felt more connected knowing that many others were listening to the same thing at the same time. #lifewithouttheinternet Also, music didn’t suck back then.

  4. I remember being frustrated trying to find out information about something and the encyclopedia didn't have that topic in it, or else the entry wasn't enough to satisfy my curiosity.

    Having used the Internet for just a bit less than 40 years... I really don't know what that would mean.

  6. Just stumbled across a great ad for Sony cassette tapes from an old i-D magazine ~1984. I'll need to dig out the mag but I think that was an actual earbud taped to the page, I-D was big on creative ads and inserts back then.

  7. #lifewithouttheinternet Having spent my first 26 years or so without it, all I can say is... why the actual fuck would y'all start watching TV? Have you actually seen what's on that GD propaganda device now? OMG this would literally be the f-n wake up call y'all need. HEED IT.

  8. #lifewithouttheinternet I'd be taking more photos, go vanlifing more, reading more magazines and books (e-books would still be a thing right? Right??) to get my infinite craving for knowledge fulfilled. Oh and more beer & pubs in no particular order.

    Yah... that sounds like a delight actually... 🤔

    We are planning a camping trip. Preparing to be in Wi-Fi dead zone is nerdy fun.

  10. Having fun shopping at Woolworth, Debenhams, Comet, Barratts, Blockbuster, Toys R Us, and lord knows how many others.
    Also never having to click a button to prove I’m not a robot.

  11. Saw a #Dell monitor spec'd to "Max Operating Temperature: 104°F" and thought about redesigning phones and all other gear to work in #Phoenix+ heat, rated to 120°F or 45°C. #lifewithouttheinternet

  12. @radiojagou Well if you want a steam equivalent that works like steam can substituent for cyber then I would after the big solar flare*1 sends us back to the stone age use the #Discworld equivalent & go with #ClacksPunk as #SemaPunk for semaphore might be misconstrued in some circles who are bad at spelling😜

  13. “Daddy, show me pictures of dinosaurs.”

    (Reaches for rectangle-worn pocket, realizes for the umpteenth time that it’s empty, reaches for portable whiteboard & markers instead.) “Only if you show me some of your own.”
