I’d say if they weren’t on the internet they’d be mostly watching TV, all 3 channels.
Lots of emails are sent, but I bet only less than 1 in 10 is read.
Wonder what the next 25 years will be like>

In our household.. 25 years ago…. I was living in Fiji, i was 10 years old!
We had a tv set, vhs tapes and betamax but no tv channels were around then.
We would have been listening to Paul Simmon, Michael Jackson (thriller record), Abba and Boney M records.
We were playing cards, scrabble, lego, and reading.
We were swimming everyday, I was cutting down long pieces of wood with a cane knife and making spears to throw around the yard.
I was going to a big school which had 40 students to a class, beside the ocean.
Lollies could still be bought for 1c.
And the only thing I was worried about was not messing up so I wouldn’t get a smack from dad. hahaha
Cane knife
and on weekends.. we went to beaches like this
That beach is really beautiful. It sounds like you had an awesome childhood Rak, I really enjoyed reading your post. Who needs the Internet when you’ve got a beautiful beach and 1 cent lollies
I can’t believe how much information is produced on the Internet each day, that’s absolutely mind blowing! I wonder how many servers it would take to cache all of this information? I don’t even know if I can count that high lol

Information access is only going to become more easily accessible and in different formats. It will be easier to access, whenever we want, and the quality will be better.
The experience will change.
One thing I am looking forward to is the next evolution step with the tv. Its still very much an entertainment vehicle, i wonder if it will be anything other than that.

It is pretty amazing to consider all that has changed. This weekend I was looking back on the time before mobile phones… It is so weird to think how we operated on a day-to-day without them and only relied on land lines.
And Rak, you’re right… TV will be taken to a whole new level. At our home, we can sync our TV with Internet and access online right in front of us with our remote. It’s pretty nuts. Who knows what the next level will be…
