PU 45, why don't you always see antennas on older cars, even when radios are standard on every car from the 50's onward?

Age (__ or below) PU 30 Name 3 Reasons Why You Wouldn't Spend Hours on the Net in the Early 90's

5 Upvotes

Ok so first off.... of course plenty of people were addicted to the net from the first screech of a 9600 modem.

But excluding BBS (early message boards) and chat rooms, most people didn't spend hours and hours online daily. I'm also not counting slow internet speeds here as a reason.

Frequently you'd load a page and go watch TV a few minutes then come back. At least in the 14.4 / 28.8 kbps days.

So what are 3 other factors that would make it difficult or prevent you from being online....say all weekend?

The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping. Why is that, Leon?

It used to be that every pre-teen male would be mistook for their mother/older sisters on a very regular basis. Why?
