Before we had smileys, people would take pictures of their facial expression and then add it to their post.

Before we had the internet, people wrote TCP/IP packets on paper and sent them via mail.
Play me on chess.com! Scratch group!   √-1 2³ ∑ 3.14, and it was delicious!

Either your internet was too slow, or you're using the wrong theme, so you lost the game.

Before we had text editors, we put a disk drive on the table and alowed a butterfly to flap its wings once. That creates disturbances in the atmosphere, which focus incoming rays onto the disk drive and flip a single bit.

Before we had pi, opinions were onions.
"Many people hear voices when no one is there.
Some of them are called 'mad' and shut up in rooms where they stare at the walls all day.
Others are called 'writers,' and they do pretty much the same thing."
