I didn't have internet until the 90s when I started college anyways. It's gone way downhill with the barrier to entry being so slow. I'm fine going back to gopher, maybe some telnet BBSes, start getting more people to acquire LoRa mesh devices lol. I'll even go back to sending everyone paper checks instead of doing online bill payments.
I hear you do what you can, it is too late already but your effort is appreciated.
Don't LoRa mesh devices have extremely low bandwidth?
yeah, i’m retired and don’t need speed. i started with a 300 baud modem lol
