I remember being 10, and the closest thing to the Internet we had was when we got a VCR.

    I'm from the UK and the closest thing to the Internet to me was teletext. I loved it. My parents were baffled as to what I was doing.

    Yep, this exactly. You could even read news and weather on it. Some channels had the ability to send an SMS and it would show up in a teletext chat! I checked every channel if it had teletext and CartoonNetwork had amazing pixel art on it.
