How could people survive without all this technology?

Omg if I didn't have my iPhone I would literally die! Sucks for people that had to live in the 90s.

I was a teen in the 90's and I lived just fine. In fact I probably enjoyed myself much more than most teens today. I had a real social life and actually still had a good imagination and found things to do instead of sitting in front of a computer all day and being glued to a small screen.

We had paintball guns to shoot eachother in the face to pass the time

Yes.

Well people back when actually went out.

By going outside.

We couldn't and it's kinda upsetting

People would survive just fine. When I was young we survived without cell phones of any kind - just a house phone that was plugged in to the wall if you were lucky. And often no TV. No computers. No iPods or iPads or iPhone or xBox or Nintendo or anything else like that. What did we do you ask? We talked to each other - in real life. We played board games. We read books. We helped out at home.

The 90s - early 2000s were the best! Kids actually went outside to play with other kids in the neighborhood, neighbors talked to one another. Now everyone's either looking down or too scared to start a conversation because they're so used to "talking" through screens. It's quite sad.

Got along fine. Role playing, like here, was virtually nonexistent. Time spent on relationships, were genuinely consuming and required effort, not fantasy.
