Of course, I remember life before the Internet.

Possessing a Desktop Computer, or a Laptop Computer was more of a novelty than a widespread necessity.

Unless a business had their own, internal Computer Network; Businesses had to get by, by the way of filling Documents and Paperwork placed in Folders away in Filing Cabinets.

Researching, and retrieving information was done by the way of having access to Books that are sources of particular information, whether you borrowed them from a Library; or were able to own your own copies of these Books.

Also, life before the Internet cultivated interest in Amateur/Ham Radio, listening to, and working for local AM/Mediumwave and FM Radio Stations, watching, and working for local Television Stations; and later, watching, and working for Cable Television Channels and local and regional Cable Television Providers.

Last, life before the Internet also cultivated traffic in Shopping Malls, Stores such as Sears, Montgomery-Ward, and J.C Penney; and also Five & Dime Stores.
