#BeforeTheInternetExisted Is Trending And We Can Totally See Why

What did we do with ourselves?

We know it might seem prehistoric to consider that in our lifetimes we actually lived without the internet – no pug memes, no status updates and certainly no swiping right.

But if you recall, we did all survive those dark days and were not eternally bored by each other’s company either.

Now Twitter is graciously reminding us of all the things that were different before the World Wide Web turned up.
