Idyllic Nostalgia

Your life without a computer: what does it look like?

It’s hard to imagine, especially if you’re using this medium to read these words. What was life like before computers?

I’m old enough to recall a world before home computers and smartphones. I remember building dens in the woodlands safely.

TV wasn’t great back then, with just three channels at best, and kids’ TV had limited airtime, thanks to Aunty Beeb.

“Tizwaz” was the punk TV for kids, while the BBC offered nice stories, and some of it was quite strange.

It all seems so distant now, but it’s not really my world anymore, is it?

I suspect that dwelling in our memories isn’t conducive to aging gracefully.
