As in no internet, cell phones or computers. Being born in '74, I was lucky enough to know what it meant to go outside, build a fort, play and mess around. Getting the exercise without knowing it. (riding a bike for example, or running to a friend's house). Drinking out of the hose on a hot summer day after running around in the heat. I swear! there's something extra tasty about that!

Then, being sick from school and laying on the couch watching Bob Barker on the Price is Right before the soaps came on. BORING!!! lol

Don't get me wrong, I'd probably be lost without all the technology we have today since it's gotten so ingrained in our lives, but I am thankful that I will probably be one of the older folks which can survive driving a manual car, reading cursive, and operating a soon to be antique store item, VCR with the VCR + capability. :)
