i graduated in 1986 & there was only 1 computer class in the whole school & there was no internet access~ it was strictly for educational purpose~ i also graduated during a time when NO ONE had cell phones, & texting?, what was that?~ there was no GPS, you had to actually look stuff up on a paper map~ we bought all our mac & stevie music on vinyl or cassette & maybe an 8 track or two, & seeing stevie in 1986 front row cost me 14.50~ there was no cable tv until i was 13~ we had 3 channels to watch & 2 pbs channels~ i remember being 13 & seeing mtv first air~
the internet is a great tool, but i don't want my son to use it as a crutch either~ he is home-schooled & i take him to the library to use actual books & learning tools to teach also~ we both like taking the time to read an actual book & do science type stuff outside & not always sitting in front of a screen~
how did we make it thru?
