How did people used to waste their time in the pre-Internet era?

TV, wasn't it?

Playing outside in the sunshine.

Frankly, I was too busy to have any time to waste. And that's still the case. The Internet simply replaced a small amount of TV time and a smaller amount of reading time.

Reading, writing, watching TV.... hey, just the kind of things you do on the internet. Funny that.

Going outside is still priority for me. Beach and surf all year. No cell phone. Life is wonderful.
