Not really. There was no easy way to get your voice out there that people could listen to you.
- falcolas 6y agoThe internet has existed for me as a boring citizen in the boonies since at least ‘95. This doesn’t even count Ham radio, BBS, and various other local and global methods of sharing speech.
- mcphage 6y agoWell then, look at it this way: those things still all exist, but there are also new ways of sharing your speech now that didn't exist before.
- rusk 6y ago> that people could listen to you Back in those days you had a very limited audience and I’d go so far as to say that it’s only in the last 10 years or so we’ve seen the public at large go online.
