Answer 2

Before the internet, life was very different. People didn't send emails. They wrote letters and took them to the post office. They didn't buy things or pay for things online. No one knew when kids did projects at school, they went to the library to find information. They spent hours trying to find information which today we can find in one second. Did they have profiles on websites like Facebook? No, they didn't have profiles on websites, because there weren't any websites!
