Pre-Internet - Adam

What did people do before the internet?

I believe the Schuch household got the internet around the year 2000 which would put me at around 6th grade. and this is back when it took an hour to download one song off of Napster and that's if Pam didn't yell at you for tying up the phone line all night.

Think about how drastically different life would have been had I been born ten or twenty years earlier. In High School and College I would have had to actually go to a library and physically look for sources for all of my papers I've written.

This very blog...how would it work? I would have to write my blog then tape it up outside of my house then individually send actual mail (not electronic) to each of my subscribers telling them I have a new post up and to come by check it out and leave a comment. And put up fliers if I wanted to attract more viewers.

Class reunions, they are at this point worthless. Today, instead of having to wait 10 years to see if your life is impressive or an embarrassment to fellow classmates at a reunion, you can log on to faceSchuch in your spare time and note the successes of the kids you use to make fun of as you watch their lives surpass yours knowing that in the back of your mind they are looking at your page thinking "who's laughing now Schuch?"

Along with that, prior to the internet how am I suppose to settle arguments about how much better Jordan is that LeYawn Lames?
