Millennial, briefly experienced a life with limited access to information.
You are capable of more than you think. You wrote phone numbers down and memorized your own. You memorized the ones you used regularly. I had 7-8 friends and family numbers memorized.
You also only needed one phone number per household.
When you needed to know something like how to fix a car or replace a light bulb you asked someone. Often An uncle, aunt, or cousin. If nobody in your friends/family group knew, you went to the library.
Yellow pages and magazines and instruction manuals were constantly floating around with information. I never felt deprived of curiosity. I read a lot.

It’s almost getting harder to find accurate information now with information overload, especially when a ton of it is just AI or SEI marketing sites.
