Before The Internet

I have vivid memories of the time before the Internet, a period that was truly unique and filled with its own set of challenges and rewards. Back then, when it came to working on our reports, the library was our primary source of information. The process of conducting research involved physically venturing to the library, poring over books, and meticulously searching through reference materials. It was a time-consuming yet deeply engaging experience that required dedication and patience. 

On one hand, the absence of the Internet meant that we had to rely on fundamental skills such as using a dictionary and mastering the art of library research. These were valuable skills that we honed through the process of gathering information. However, the flip side of not having instant access to information was that tasks took much longer to complete. This necessitated a higher level of organization and planning to ensure that everything was well-structured and executed efficiently.

Life before the Internet was undoubtedly filled with its own set of merits and challenges, and looking back, it’s clear that it was a time that demanded a different kind of approach and mindset.
