A free America demands an open Internet, a secure Internet, an Internet free of political censorship
How did we get along before the Internet?
Young people today cannot imagine living in a world without electronic devices - a time before fast-paced computers, laptops, and smart phones provided instant connectivity. Their parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents cannot imagine living in a world without automobiles, airplanes, and television - a time of slow-paced letter writing, waiting, and sailing boats. People live in the cultural, physical, and political historical context of their lives.

I had a deprived childhood.
My parents wouldn’t buy me a bedroom computer nor let me network one.

I would not want to do without radio though.
Radio ... TV without the annoying picture.
