Pre-net

Any medium through which information is gained that was in occurance before the invention of the internet - e.g. a book is a form of pre-net.

Man: Dude, did you know that if your hand is bigger than your face you have cancer!
Dude: No way man, that sounds bogus.
Man: Nah homie, for shizzle, I read it in the pre-net.
Dude: Shit, I better check.
