What am I Blabbing About?

As I wait for the damn restaurant staff to fix their WiFi connection—the very reason why I decided to patronize their establishment in the first place—I can’t help but try and remember what I did before I had constant access to the internets.

I do have some recollections. For instance, if I didn’t know something I had to… shudder consult a printed encyclopedia. There was no Google to help me figure out facts, figures, and most importantly for a writer like me, figures of speech.

What I Did Before Going Online?

Obviously, this question is irrelevant for people who’ve been connected practically their entire lives. So they weren’t “forced” to deal with a need to recall facts and ideas from memory.

All I remember doing before going online for real were nights full of human interaction and conversation. I had to read books and actually go out of the house, simply because I had nothing better to do. To be fair though, the availability of virtually endless information on the internet has helped me learn new things.

So What Did You do Before Going Online?

Along the way, I learned how to create my own style of doing things based on the activities of others. And as I’m increasingly able to enjoy a fully mobile online experience, I’m pretty sure the Internet will become a more important resource for yours truly.

So, what did you do before the Internet became a big part of your life? The very fact that you’re reading this blog post indicates that going online is now a must for you. Or at the very least, you’re starting to discover the wonders—and perils—of the online world.
