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?
Tell me about the dark ages!

lol all these other replies in the thread talking about having encyclopedias at home. That was some rich family stuff.
Most people went to the library or just listened to whomever said what they remembered most confidently.
Encarta for the computer was a thing but, from what I remember, it was barely helpful. I guess it’s possible that my family had a cheap version. In my experience the best I could hope from it was to start where I should research at the library.
