I'm an older 80's computer programmer. Is there anything useful to do on the internet without a credit card ?

Answer 1

Yes!
One of the great things about the internet, is you can find communities of like minded people.

Whatever your interest no matter how unusual you think it may be, there are probably people with the same interests.

One way to get connected is just to look at websites about your interests, and see if they have a forum, thats where the people are.


On the Internet you don't need a unlimited credit card. You need an unlimited imagination. The internet seems vast and endless, so just treat it like a holiday, go exploring, and find some nice places, nice people to stop and visit.

The internet is not made by companies, not made by computers, not made by money or credit cards.
It is made by people, like you.

Answer 2

You can learn anything from a language to low level programming on the internet. Download free software, play free game, converse in free chat rooms and much much more.
