While the internet we use today might be one of the most important inventions, it wasn’t always around. Yet, the days before the internet and after it are very different. One could also argue that life before the internet was boring and stale, with much less entertaining content to consume. The world wide web today has changed our communication with friends and family and how we use our free time for leisure activities.

Today, it is easy to see what a friend or a family member is up to because of the many social media platforms at our disposal. Communication tools like Facebook or Whatsapp have connected the world thanks to the complex and web-like internet. Thanks to them, we can reach whomever we want, whenever we want, in just a few seconds. However, life before social media was a lot different — maybe a more relaxed one.

It’s easy to imagine how the days went when there was no internet. Memes before the internet had to be shared through word of mouth while out with friends. People involved themselves in activities like fishing, hiking, and creating memories full of nostalgia. Sadly, the nostalgic childhood once experienced by the older generation will probably be lost to the younger generations. And unfortunately, the internet has done a lot to create this strange situation. 

An astounded mind on the NoStupidQuestions subreddit asked — “Teenagers before the internet: what did you do in your room during your spare time?” With so many answers to choose from, we have compiled a list of the best ones below. If you can relate to some of them, be sure to upvote them. If you had a favorite activity of your own, be sure to share it with a comment below.

"Read. A lot. Watched movies. Talked on the phone. For hours at a time. That’s assuming I was home in my room. Which wasn’t a lot… I was out at the mall with friends, or hanging out at their houses, going to movies, arcades etc. I was never bored. Even when I was at home alone in my room. Boredom just wasn’t a thing when I had a good book."

"Walked all over the neighborhood. Would just show up at friends' houses (pre-common cell phone usage) to say hi and do something silly like jump on their trampoline for ten minutes together and then leave on the next part of my walk. Listened to music and thought about my deep teenager thoughts. Played SNES and practiced band instruments. Read magazines and SO many books. Honestly didn't spend a ton of time just in my room in my free time, it was mostly going out and doing things."

"I think the biggest difference I can remember was having to watch tv shows at specific times. VCRs were such a game changer, but up until then if you wanted to watch Seinfeld, you tuned in on Thursday night. I skipped going out on my birthday one year to watch the season premiere of Lost."

"I'm 63, was a teenager from 1973 to 1979. The short answer is nothing. We weren't wealthy, and my brother and I had 2 single beds in a 10x10 ft room. I left my room at about 530am to deliver newspapers and went back at about 930 pm to sleep. I studied at a desk in our family room and was outside a lot of the time otherwise."

That just means that you get into trouble. You create your own flame-throwers (bug-spray + candle), discover that mixing zinc, sulfur, and saltpeter creates a much more flammable mix than black powder, and try to build your own solid-fuel rockets. There were a few club-type things in our school, but why would we want to stay in school any longer than we had to? I ta=ke that back. I did participate in a chemistry club in 6th grade. We got the teacher to add 95% sulphuric acid to a beaker full of sugar. Fun reaction.

Not on MY watch. I recently took my 8 year old nephew's love of Gorilla Tag and my 5 year old niece's love of being a know-it-all and taught them both about Koko the Gorilla from my (and their mother/my sister's) childhood. So now every day when I babysit we play "The Gorilla Game" where I'm Penny the trainer and they are Phoenix and Harper (they chose their own gorilla names) and I teach them sign language and take them on adventures. Last week they got a puppy that they named Dodger. So yes, imagination still exists when you have an Aunt Cara 😉

"I read a lot and wrote stories and poems. I also spent a lot of time outside on my bike. I did games on the computer or consoles but these were shared. TV wasn't a huge thing either because there wasn't much "on demand" so you were stuck watching whatever was scheduled which was always hit-and-miss. I was not easily bored. I think people assume that but when you've not had access to constant entertainment, you learn how to entertain yourself so much easier. You have a lot more hobbies."

Uuuuuummm, 100x's YES! What else is a kid supposed to do when they live in the desert and it's summer break? You make explosives in the garage while blasting RATM (just bored, not trying to hurt anything/anyone) and then you get grounded for six weeks after your parents found them cuz you didn't hide them well enough. Next, you spend six weeks thinking of where the optimal hiding places are.

"I grew up in the 90s and early 2000s when we had internet, but it was one family computer, couldn’t be used at the same time as the phone, and we were very, very limited on time (I had three siblings). We honestly didn’t hang out in our rooms that much: We played football in the street outside and rode our bikes and rollerblades around with neighborhood kids. My family didn’t have a video game console, but sometimes we’d go play Mario Kart at friends’ houses if the weather was bad. If we hung out in our rooms we’d do things like play Crazy Bones, Pogs, or Pokémon cards. Or talk on the landline to friends if it wasn’t being used."
