Mom Explains to Son What Life Was Like Before the Internet in a Hilarious Texting Exchange

Do you remember life without the World Wide Web? It certainly wasn't like 2019.

Do you remember life without the World Wide Web? I do. I actually remember getting the Internet. I remember the dial tone, and I remember getting kicked offline whenever my mother picked up the home phone. (REMEMBER HOME PHONES?!) I got booted off every single time someone called—which was ALWAYS. I remember life before the Internet, but just barely, and I'm almost 30.
