been thinking about all the little moments tucked away in my memories that are a world unknowable to those younger than me, so consider this an opportunity to reminisce over old times, but also to ask those about the times you did not live through.
I guess my question for those older than me is: before computers, how did you learn to do something?
Did access to knowledge change your life, was a constraint lifted when you no longer depended on having found the right books or people to learn tips on how to cook a new dish, or how to fix a plumbing problem, or how to plant a garden?
Was life more simple, did you have fewer problems to solve without technology in your life, or did technology make life easier?
Before computers I was an ignorant little shit who read fiction books and fumble-fucked around until I could figure it out. All my education came from teachers in school literally talking to me in class, me reading the textbooks, me reading sci Fi, and me running around like a little feral goblin outside.
