I would imagine it was harder to get information on topics as you would’ve had to buy/borrow encyclopedias to do.

Were there proprietary predecessor websites?

    We had libraries and librarians, the library was an amazing place, soo, soo many books, and you could take them home for a few weeks, for free!

    And if you had trouble finding something a librarian could help you find the book you where looking for.

    Libraries are still fantastic, but have lost a lot of it’s magic since smartphones became a thing.
