In a world so full of technology and gadgets, it's hard to picture what the world might look like without all of those things. The Internet is used by nearly everyone in some capacity, and it is pretty important for many situations and processes in life. It has advanced the world in the professional sense and entertainment wise, but life before advanced technology and the Internet seemed pretty simple. It's strange to think about how things happened back then, and what people got up to for fun.

There are lots of people around who do remember life before the Internet was a thing. Boomers and Gen Xers grew up in an era where they had to play outside, in the streets, or with physical toys. Kids do still do these things, but it can be hard to balance screen time with outside time, reading time, and physical playtime. It's impossible to stay away from technology.

This is a collection of 25 images taken in the past of kids just being kids before they were so invested in technology. These images are filled with nostalgia, and throw things back to a time that many people have forgotten existed.
