13 hours agoI'm 66 and my grandson asked me what we did before the internet and I started to answer and then stopped - because the honest answer is we were bored in ways that forced us to become interesting, and I don't know how to explain that without sounding like I'm criticizing his entire world - Silicon Canals
Pre-internet boredom forced people to develop practical skills, storytelling abilities, and genuine expertise that shaped their personalities and social value in ways constant digital entertainment prevents today.
