It's funny, I'm no longer a "younger person", but I was, just as the internet was really taking off in the public sphere in the mid 90s.

And I know for sure that we got on just fine without it - and yet, I now can't imagine how we possibly did. I use it every single day for so many things, work, news, leisure, communication, etc. I almost can't remember life without it.

Not saying that's a good or a bad thing, but it's weird to think about.
