The internet is not that old. Neither are cell phones.
What did you do before the mid 80s?
I sometimes think a shutdown might be a blessing in disguise.
Hung out in libraries. Spent money on loose women and strong drink. The rest I wasted buying trade magazines.
It ain't the 80s, and I'm not going back to then, or caveman days either. So you and the far left can KMA on the 'good old days' schtick. Because they were not good. But they did get old.

Better rethink that, no more Freerepublic if you get your wish..! < /humor >
I dreamed of the internet. I imagined being able to look up a word in a German dictionary and have it instantly. I imagined being able to reproduce an image using only a formula, like a music score. I imagined having a way to link information. In short, if Al Gore hadn't invented the internet, I would have.

Right. Like being without electricity during a thunder storm. It's nice for about four hours. Then you need to wash clothes, keep the food from thawing, and get on with your life. Civilization does not go backward--at least, not for long.
