i-Ram Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Perverts have it easy these days. I always felt uncomfortable buying my magazines from the local shop. I thought I was the most embarrassed by it, but in the end my poor mum felt she had to give up her part time job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmericanRam Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I think it is clearly better.The ease of so many things (shopping,following sports teams,etc.) has made life much easier for society I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisse Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 How did you follow Derby before the Internet? When we in the Premier we always got Saturday night matches here and Derby was in tv every now and then. Otherwise I checked the stats from the local football magazine.

Day Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 Didn't you have Teletext in Sweden? Bamboozle and that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisse Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I think teletext became here as a big thing in the late 80's or early 90's. Can't remember. I was checking the Derby results however before that from the paper. Always had to wait until Tuesday that I saw the result. Simple times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrivateDerby Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Before, it's caused more problems than it's solved. Not to mention bred a very sad generation of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashz09 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Pros:- I wouldn't have a girlfriend with out the internet haha! Was far to shy glad my house hold finally got the internet -.-.. Pr0n is also a great thing.. Long are the days of wondering what my dads sticky mags were about. (Weird as soon as I turned the internet on for the 1st time back in the day i was bombarded with adverts lol). Cons:- It's cring when you go past parks or roads and no kids or no one is playing any more. The fields would always have some one on it until it got dark.. Now there deserted! KInda depressing try get my lad to come outside and breathe oxygen is sometimes hard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 To be honest, it's a double edged sword. Child is available to the sickos and parents daren't let their kids out their sight due to them. Well some parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladyram Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Some aspects of it are amazing. To think of the amount of info what's available is staggering but all the twisted stuff like child makes me puke. For kids it's important, with the way technology is now. More & more jobs are becoming computer based so they have to know what they're doing. But round here the kids still play out and when they want a break they'll sit under a tree and talk about how they found out everything there is to know about Fifa 15, off the internet. But all things considered, before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I've just been hit by Hurricane Odile, went nine days without electricity, water, and light. You won't have any idea what it's like to retort back to the olden days of pitch black at 8pm, no street lights, candles in my apartment, p!ssing in the dark, canned food, sleeping at 8pm in 33 degree heat and showering with a bucket. People have it so easy nowadays, myself included, and I never realised how much I depend on the internet for everyday activities. It is the centre of everything news related and I use it for more than just leisure with things like - maps, weather patterns, global news, transportation and family contact.

Wolfie Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 How many times do you quickly google something in a pub or wherever, to find something you'd forgotten that somebody mentioned in conversation?. Happens to me all the time and for that reason alone, after is better. When I was a kid in the 70's & 80's, if mum & dad didn't know the answer, I didn't get to find out because we didn't have encyclopaedias. Quick access to information nowadays is great.

Apart from the heat, that sums up part of my very early childhood of 70's Sheffield. But at least we never got a hurricane so I'm thankful for that at least.
