Life before Internet! How did we do it?
Sometimes I try to cast my mind back to the era before the internet, in the grand scheme of things it was really that long ago. I think I was around 16 years of age when people began to talk about the internet and some lucky friends of mine had parents who had it installed on their computers early on. The first days of the internet consisted of slow dial up operations, which meant you couldn’t use the landline at the same time - a frightful nuisance at time when mobile phones were not prevalent either. Imagine researching something before the internet, like the best summer sun holiday deals, cheapest place to get your running accessories or looking for local bar jobs to earn some extra money, how did we do it? I can’t even remember now. There are some fantastic websites now that save us so much time when it comes to organising things, just think if gocompare or last minute.com. My favourite website at the minute is the amazing Skyscanner, which scans flights available for particular dates or a specific month that you are interested in flying on. You can even search all flights from the UK to a specific destination so you can weight up the costs of travelling to an airport not necessarily your closet one, to get a bargain flight. The greatest thing about Skyscanner is that it literally scans all the flight carriers so you don’t waste time visiting each individual website. Skyscanner is just one of sites I couldn’t imagine life without now, Facebook being a major other. Life without Facebook!!! - Now there is a thought!
