When you were in school did you have internet and cell access?

[LaLa]

Because I am only 23 and I know that when I was in school we only sometimes had the internet and it was dial up so we weren't allowed to use it until after 8:00 pm and only if my mother wasn't using the phone. And we did not have cell phones we had calculators! Now my little brother cheats on his tests using his cell to conect to the internet and find answers! And they text answers! And they just go home and get on Y/A and ask there homework questions!? Does anyone else remember "back in the day" when you went to the library and checked out a book to gather your info?!?!?!

Al Gore had not invented the internet yet, way back then.

And no cell phones, or even calculators, either.

Just a set of encyclopedias.

How many of you have ever heard of a slide rule?

Didn't have either one when I was in school

I'm 42. There was no internet in those days- We actually had to read books!
Only rich people had cell phones, which were the size of bricks. We also couldn't use calculators in math class, unless you were in really advanced trig or calculus.
We survived despite the fact that our parents couldn't get hold of us every second of every day, and didn't have GPS tracking on our butts.
I miss those days.

Yeah, I remember when you could choose between Windows and Dos? Does anyone else remember Dos? and there really wasn't much to do on the internet anyhow. If you picked up the phone you were kicked off. We used encyclopedias and there was no such think as wikipedia. And I remember going to the Library and using a Card Catalog?

I MISS the days when you had to go to the library and look stuff up...and no, there were no personal computers when I was in school. They were a luxury when I was in college. I know kids would never believe it, but I managed to get by without a cell phone or computer, and I was very happy. No wonder they're all so bored now. They have no idea what it's really like to "entertain yourself" without the assistance of electronics. Except for stereos. My stereo rocked!
