Austin,

If this is true, then how did people learn and develop techniques of 
all kinds.

Back in the 60's and 70's we could not wait for the monthly 
Photography Magazines to hit our mailbox. Those camera club meetings 
were also a forum to discuss and advance the state of the art.

No there were no mailing lists or internet for the pedestrian user, 
but there was definitely a very strong and active network.
