A very small number of people in a given area would even be able to get online at one time in the first place... Would have been insane.

I had a super big crush with a female chat member/regular in a chatroom. Those were the days, lol.

Also, keeping yourself connected so that the teacher can't call in to complain about your grades. haha.

No, we knew how to entertain ourselves without internet back then.

That largely involved other people, though.

TV.
Books.
Console Video games.
Crafts.
Puzzles
CDs.

Thing is, there was a lot less "one and done" with media. We replayed video games. Watched reruns. Re-read our favorite books. etc. Without the constant stream of new you had to develop enough of an appreciation of something on hand to re-do it when you finish the first time.

Dial up internet wasn't that bad, just couldn't download big files or stream but streaming wasn't even a thing back then.

AIM, Diablo ii, rainbow six with roger Wilco chat. That would actually be a fun time to go back to the more I think about it, Id just play single player of those games, lords of the realm 2 or baldurs gate 2 if online was too overloaded.

You haven't lived until you've played Counter-strike on dial-up.
