 - **human memory**: Human memory can be used instead of computer memory, though we have to bear in mind its limitations. In very old times, before books became common and cheap, there existed people who made living by memorizing history in forms of long poems and recited them in public (this is how e.g. Iliad and Odyssey survived until they were actually recorded).
 - **public fora**: Instead of an Internet discussion forum or chat it's possible to just allocate some public space for people to simply talk. Instead of [YouTube](youtube.md) videos people can go see someone's lecture, with the advantage of being able to actually talk to the guy and ask questions -- again, pretty obvious but the new generation may already be forgetting things can be [done simply](kiss.md).
 - **local storage/paper and offline programs instead of [cloud](cloud.md)**: This is again more of a note for the newer generation that's used to storing everything in the cloud and also using "cloud apps" -- you can (and SHOULD) store things locally of course, you can use offline programs and eve boomer solutions like a literal paper notebook for taking notes instead of using some online note taking "app". Similarly you can store your cash [money](money.md) and private photos in a physical safe instead of relying on Internet banking or password protected clouds and voila, suddenly you free of yet another bullshit.
+- **[microfilm](microfilm.md) readers**: Microfilms (microfiche) used to be used to back up and store large amounts of text such as newspapers, accounting records or books (although images can be stored too). Whatever is stored on the film is scaled down so that very little physical space can hold a lot of data (stored documents are usually 1/25th of their original size, one reel can hold up to 10000 pages, plus with [color](color.md) film it's possible to use each of the RGB channels to store data in 3 layers, tripling the capacity). To read the data there exist microfilm readers, which typically do nothing more than magnify the film with a lens and shine some light on it, i.e. they are [simple technology](kiss.md). Old libraries would have big microfilm readers with huge screens (resembling CRT monitors a little bit), but there existed even pocket-sized personal readers.
 - **doing it yourself, becoming independent**: you can replace many online services by just doing them yourself, for example instead of online weather forecast you can build your own small weather station, instead of online music streaming service you can just buy a harddrive, load it with mp3s and let it play on random, and so on.
 - **"online only sometimes"**: An approach contrasted with the "always online" philosophy of the mainstream. This can greatly minimize dependency on connectivity, bandwidth and latency. Though a lot of technology is built with the premise of having constant access to the Internet, practically speaking few tasks require it by nature. You can do most things offline -- reading and replying to emails, reading and searching websites, watching movies, programming and committing to git repositories, playing slow-paced turn based games, all of these require just connecting to the Internet once in quite a long while to refresh the data, send the buffers out and download new queued resources. With just a little effort you can set this up.
