"Millennial Comedian Amazed by Pre-Internet Life"

A 26-year-old comedian on TikTok asked "older people" how they coped before the internet, sparking a discussion about life before instant access to information. Users shared their experiences of relying on dictionaries, encyclopedias, experts, and paper maps. Some mentioned accepting not knowing as a good thing, while others highlighted the convenience of modern technology. The comedian, Sarah Adelman, was fascinated by the responses and found that urban myths were more pervasive without easy fact-checking. TikTok is increasingly becoming a platform for intergenerational conversations and comparisons.
