Before the internet was released to the general public, most content like Magazines, Newspapers were distributed through printed copies of paper for the public to read. Videos were distributed through television. Fashion consumers could find what they're looking for via magazines such as Cosmopolitan, Vogue and GQ. People who go to the gym and workout a lot would find the best workout technique in the latest magazine issue. Food recipes were only distributed through books. It may seem that theres a wide range of choices to pick from back in those days, but when you look at todays technology compared to then there really is a massive difference and it does tell you that there are countless ways of people finding what they want through just the internet, and there really wasn't that much choice back then.
If you think back to the 1990's, how many magazines/newspapers did people buy? Many people usually subscribed to one or two magazines and read them for a good few years. but nowadays people have new technology like iPhones in the palm of their hands that theres no need to go out and get a newspaper or magazine from the nearest off-licence, when you can have what newspapers and magazines you want and more with just a mobile device. People find it quite astonishing when they've experienced the change in technology and how it has impacted many lives globally.
