    Well, i grew up in an odd time. I was 15 in 2010 when i got my first smartphone. I had 2 flip phones before that though. I had a laptop (eith dial-up since we were super rural) from 2007ish to 2010 and could only go online from 8-10PM. Before all that i did quite a bit of reading and watching TV. I remember our cellphones having 700 anytime minutes to share and unlimited nights and weekends starting at 9PM. In some ways those were the days and in other ways i am glad they are gone. I thi k growing up with limited access to the internet may very well have been a good thing. Dial-up is a great teacher of patience.
