Before Internet, I think we use our time to socialize with our neighbor, watch movies, do more sport activities. O, yeah going to the mall more often for window shopping.

Yeah, everything has disadvantages and advantages. Aside than making our lives easy because of this technology, people seems to get lazy because of this accessible things. They do not waste time in things that requires a lot of time that's why they choose to use these things.

Internet and technology made our lives at ease and fast. Before work isnt that easy until computers and internet are made. Maybe life would stilL be boring and hard i guess if technology was not improved.

We would probably be spending more time outdoors with family & friends doing all kinds of recreational activities, we'd all be incredibly fit and there would a lot less obese children & adults. I am so tired of seeing chubby kids spending the majority of their time playing video games, when they should be outside playing sports or something active.

Hey,
Well before the Internet actually came out, or before I ever got it, I was still in primary school, enjoying my life playing sports with my friends, and I was really enjoying my life. Now my life is still fun, but in a different way. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

Before this new era of internet. I think alot of us were having fun. We were outside playing. Spending time with our family. Playing board games. I also think we could do the samething now that we did before there were computer. I think if we put the addiction of internet behind us we will be fine. There is life after the internet. Happy lotting.

Playing board games! Is incredible, I've just completely forgot about my board games, they are somewhere. I don't even remember where they are. The internet have just bring some great thing but I think it takes us a lot of time every day. I'm going to ask my wife if she want to play a board game, if I can find them of course.

There are a lot of fun things that can be done rather than putting all your time in front of the pc. However, these internet thing lures us to use it more and more that we tend to forget things that can be more enjoyed outdoors. This is somehow the bad side of this internet thing.

There is this strange thing I've heard about, "going outside" not sure what it's all about though, something about fresh air and socializing, IDK. LOL
I do believe TV and movies were how most spent their time though.
I've never really been w/out internet though so I can't say for sure.

Before the internet was invented, people play hopscotch with friends, spend time chatting with their neighbours outside in the yard, walk to the nearest bus stop to get to the library to look up information, call up their friends to get in touch, go to the movies with classmates. With the internet, all of these could be done at home. The result: A far less healthy society.
The solution: Spend more time outdoors, and less time indoors surfing the net.
