Do I feign not knowing life without computers and cell phones?

Maybe not cell phones, but computers were definitely around, by the late '80s. I still remember the 1984 Apple Superbowl commercial.

Computers were around, but most people didn't have a family PC. That's more of a mid-nineties phenomenon.

I had a computer at home starting in 1983 or so. A commodore 64. Not that it was amazing or anything, obviously, but I did have it. And we were a lower middle class/rural household. So I think it was at least reasonably widespread in the 80s?

Our household went through a few computers between 85 - 89. We were the first ones on the street that had an IBM PC with a 512K hard drive!! *blink*

OP

We got our first family PC (for word processing) in 1997, the internet three years later, and I don't exactly remember when, but after a few years we went to DSL.

That part that really gets me is that each of these had to be weedles with great care and research out of my parents, and lo and behold now neither of them can live without the net.

But anyway, I had almost a decade of life without much exposure to computers.
