I got my first computer, a well-used 8086 (you read that right!) in 1984. It actually had two 5.25 inch floppy disk drives, one to run the system and the other to save things on. Internet for the common person was several years in the future, especially since I lived in the middle of the bay on my boat. That ancient relic was endlessly fascinating to me back then.
Remembering that time got me wondering: how much would you enjoy your computer/laptop/tablet/phone if it wasn't online?
Anymore, for me, the internet is much less appealing. I've come to feel I need it, but it's definitely not as fascinating or addictive as it once was. I can now go for days without logging on and feeling like I am missing something. I use my computers for a lot of things I enjoy that do not require the internet.
