I definitely had not heard the word “internet” that early in 1994, and I was programming computer games and distributing them via BBS boards. So this question is normal in 1994.

That's what you got out of this? What it reflects is how little everyone besides hardcore computer nerds knew about it in 1994.

I don’t think we as a society think about how monumentally different the world is after the creation of the Internet. People born in the 90s and 2000s can’t really fathom what it was like to not be “plugged in“ all the time.

This video is from the year I was born. Even in 2002 when my family was getting those AOL free trial CDs for dial up Internet we were still confused by this thing called the Internet. We had just gotten out first family computer which was a gateway CRT monitor connected to a massive computer tower that me and my brothers would just use for flash games. God I miss those days of playing age of empires, rollercoaster tycoon, and StarCraft 😭

The fact he didn't even know what the @ sign was. 😂 Now that we're so used to internet, this is so funny. My first time ever hearing of internet was 1998. I read that internet was invented .... some articles say in 1989, some articles say in 1990. So if we all say 1990 to be safe, we're all correct. One article even showed the picture of the guy who invented it, and I wish I could remember the guy's name. What happened was, the ideas for the internet already existed (I think as early as the 1970s), for example, to do direct deposit, and he put all of those ideas together, thus creating the internet.

I was a graduate student at the time and I didn't know about the internet until late'95 or early 1996. Thankfully, the university library had computers hooked up to the internet and I could get connected. Made life a lot easier. I was able to buy tickets online for the 1996 Olympics later that year.

Mid to late 1990's was a great time to be online. The web was slow and access was expensive, but it wasn't that far removed from now in concept. Online gaming was already getting pretty hardcore by 1997 or so.
