what did we do before computers??

Just sat here reading some views passing time away and a thought just came into my head, "what did we do before computers". I can't remember! Same with mobile phones how did we keep in contact with everyone?


Could anyone live without them now? I don't think i could?!?

Yes...it was TV, Radio, listening to records, reading, knitting......I used to sew and make my daughters clothes...No clothes in Asda then.....I read a lot (and still do) home cooking, cleaning up walking the dog........those were the things that took up my leisure time.
