These days, it is difficult to imagine what life and society might be like without all of the technology and Internet that is prevalent in the world today. The Internet is used by nearly everyone in some capacity, and it is very important for many things. It has advanced the world in the professional sense and entertainment-wise, but life before the Internet took over seemed so much simpler. It's fascinating to think about how much life has changed because of the use of the web.

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 still do these things, but back throughout the 1900s, that is all kids had. It's nostalgic to see images of the world before all of the tech, and cool, too.

This is a collection of 25 images taken in the past of kids just being kids before they were so invested in technology. These are nostalgic images, and they might make some people feel a little old today.
