(EDIT: Oops. Took so long writing this answer that a few more questions got answered and asked while I was doing it. So this is re: what was life like before the Internet) As a middle aged mammal, I have a vast store of pre-internet stories.
There was no Wikipedia. There was the library, and the "search box" was a huge cabinet indexed according to the Dewey Decimal System. "Error 404" was the book not bein' on the shelf.
There was no GrubHub, DoorDash, or PostMates -- there was the McDonald's down the street, and the delivery worker was you and your bike pedalin' ya skinny little ass down there.
Console gaming was a thing, but it was the Nintendo Entertainment System -- and if you wanted to know about cheat codes or easter eggs, you found about about it by going to the nearest AM/PM and if they had the latest issue of Nintendo Power magazine, you'd flip through that and see if it had the info you wanted. If it did, you wrote the cheat code on your forearm before the pimple-faced teenager behind the counter told you to buy somethin' or get out.
People still watched television... on television sets.
There were no remakes, reboots, repukes, none of that. Hollywood was still making new movies back then. Presidential scandals actually were scandalous, like when Janet "Man Face" Napolitano had the ATF burn a cult compound to the ground with women and children inside it, or when FBI sniper Lon Horiuchi shot a northern Idaho survivalist's unarmed wife in the face while she held their newborn baby in her arms.
Even light Presidential gaffes were more interesting -- ask anybody over 40 who it was that said, "Read mah lips" and they can tell ya who it was and the three words that came next, or who it was that said, "Ah feel yore pain."
Before the internet, Hillary Clinton still had her Arkinsaw accent, by the way, and didn't yet look like exposure to the One Ring was slowly turning her into a revenant.
Pontiac was still a current brand of car, and had not yet produced the hilarious monstrosity branded the Aztek. The Sunfire was pretty close to as bad, though, and we enjoyed pointing and laughing at that pretty well.
Next question:
What do you predict will be the big thing after the internet as we know it today?
