Unplugged Memories: 5 Activities That Filled Our Time Before the Internet Era

Before the Internet

It’s almost unimaginable now, but there was a time when the internet wasn’t at our fingertips. Today’s generation might find it hard to picture a day without online activities, but how did people occupy themselves before the digital age?

To shed light on this, a group of people came together to share their favorite pre-internet pastimes. From creative endeavors to simple joys, here are 5 ways they filled their days before the World Wide Web became a household staple.

Unplugged Memories

It seems like there was an endless stream of ways that people could hang out with their friends before the internet. They could play outside, play video games, pretend, find an old treasure map in their attic, and search for a pirate’s lost treasure (oh wait, that’s The Goonies).

Hang Out With Friends

Who remembers when you had to listen to the radio and hope they played what you liked or have a collection of physical albums? I am a person who spent a lot of time listening to music to make the day go by when I was younger.

Maybe it’s because I have always had a small friend group, but I don’t play many board games. Still, whenever I do, I know that there is a lot of laughter, and time goes by very quickly.

Couldn’t talk to your friends in person? Have no fear. The telephone is here! Of course, before the internet, a majority of phone plans had you paying by the minute.
