What did people do all night before the internet?
It's the weekend and I'm staying up late playing my ps3 and fooling around online.....I was wondering what people used to do say 20 years ago? Did everyone just go to bed at a decent time? Did they stay up and read all night? Maybe watch some VHS?

Talked on the phone. Talked to family/housemates in person a lot more.
Sewed. Read. Occasionally watched the idiot box. |

Now if I can't sleep, I'm on the internet (or on the computer playing games), or watching Nick at Night. :( Rene |

Me? Well not much different from today.
I don't have a smartphone and switch off the computer at 6PM. So evenings are spent as they have been for the past 58 years with my wife ,watching some TV or reading. |

20 years ago life was a real roller coaster. We could barely afford to keep the electricity on or a roof over our head. Lots of early sleepless nights....thank goodness those days are over:o:thumbsup:
