How did it feel to live life without smart phones?
From comentare: I’m 65 years old. I feel very fortunate to have grown up without smart phones and social media apps

I think I felt much more freedom for not having instant access to everyone and everything. Not saying it’s ALL bad. It’s not. I don’t have to keep encyclopedias around anymore. and emojis are fun.

What was it like growing up without the internet in the 60s, 70s, and 80s?

Growing up without the internet in the 60s, 70s, and 80s meant a very different lifestyle compared to today. Communication was primarily through landline telephones, letters, and face-to-face interactions. Research involved visiting libraries, using encyclopedias, and consulting printed materials. Entertainment came from television, radio, books, magazines, and outdoor activities. Shopping was done in physical stores, and staying informed relied on newspapers and television news. Overall, life was slower-paced, and social interactions were more personal and direct.
