What did you use to do before phone/internet?

Phones have been around longer than I have, and I used the mail more before the internet.

I remember when we got our first phone, it was a two party line.

Before that the mail was means of communication fir people out of town. Walk down the street to talk to neighbors.

I rarely use my cell phone.  I still write letters by hand, but not as much since the advent of email.

The first landline phone number I remember from my childhood about 65 years ago had only 5 digits.  Before I moved to Texas, they added an exchange, "Cherry" plus the five digits.

Land lines and answering machines until, for me, the internet in the early 90's.

Never was a letter writer of any kind.  My father's sister always sent me a $3.00 check for my birthday and I equated a thank-you note withe pulling a tooth.  I finally stopped cashing the check so that I wouldn't have to write the thank you note.   (ADD people like myself dread producing written output.)

I avoid Skype like the plague---I tend to wear just underwear around the house.

Email---or reluctantly, text---is preferred by me now.

US mail and visiting.

I was a kid so things like ride my bike outside. Now I don't know what outside is.

Kidding but I could spend less time on the internet.

Go outside play games, study and help out the community. For that matter still do.
