The world without internet

The internet is a massive global network of information. Recently we've had such an exponential increase in knowledge that's it'd be nearly impossible to lose it. Back then if you were an electronics engineer, you would literally have bookshelves full of reference books which cost an arm and a leg, now you can get everything you need on the internet.

Many people see the internet as a place of entertainment and a black hole that sucks in all productivity, but in reality, the internet is the best tool for productivity, education and communications. You can communicate with people around the world immediately, sharing information and knowledge.

No need for large dictionaries and encyclopedias that require a long time to search through and are huge, you can just search on the internet for it.

If you want to know about something, you don't have to take a trip to the library or a newspaper, you can get it right away at your fingertips. Everything is real time. No waiting for a newspaper to know what's happening, you can get it immediately.

I personally think the internet is one of the best things to happen to humanity in the 20th-21st century.

Television in a traditional sense has nothing to do with the internet.

If good times refer to limited access to information and knowledge.

We are smarter now than we used to be. Our lives became easier.

Men still are men and women are still women.

Are you saying that the "Leave it to Beaver" lifestyle with Dad working, mom staying at home and beaver at school is the good times?
Even just 40 years ago, a single blue collar job could sustain a family of Father, Mother and child, now a single blue collar job is barely enough to support yourself, let alone a whole family. The leave it to beaver era is over, economically and socially.
