Off-topic slightly

I remember the beginning of Internett. I remember being outside playing and explore my local environment alone or with friends and family members. I recall my grandmothers farm and all the collies they had. The forests and mountains and the fjords of my different places growing up.

And those good memories are priceless and truly prescious to experience, including today with my digital life being so much a part of my current life.

But during these years there was also a lot of adversity and difficulties in life, I will not lie about it in the form of denial of pain. It was worse than I know right now, in part because I don’t remember several of my school years experiences for long term memories.

And I will say it clearly: I am here now thanks to others love and my love for them. My writing is a good friend in dark times and also in the brighter days.

Do you remember life before the internet?

View all responses

I was born during early 90s in Northern Norway and I cannot remember Internet before around age 7. And for many years the Internet was not a big part of my life, I spent my time being outside in natural environments for hours on end. I liked this way of being young, it didn’t take away my emotional life and my curious nature was strong. Once I was a teenager the Internet had gotten more interesting especially after YouTube became big. So I spent more time in front of a screen, and right now I’m most of the day watching my little device and not spend it with other people.

so I remember life before the Internet and also life before it got big part of everyday living. I need less screen time and I’m working on it now.
