And I think you would agree that this is gross. 2.

+dsfddsgh I think most people knew by late 1993 that everybody would be on the internet within a few years. I first read about it in an April 1993 Time cover story titled "The Information Superhighway" That was the first time I heard about internet commerce, chat-rooms, file sharing, and web browsing.

I was little when this was taking place. It took several minutes to connect to the Internet at first. I am no stranger to the Internet due to being born in 1992. And the Internet has replaced phone books by now for sure. Who would know that just 20 years ago that by now we'd use the Internet on tablets and smartphones as well? Even I didn't imagine it! And the future holds the internet with no mobile device with just using a screen to be on it.

it must have been so weird for people to wrap their heads around the idea of the internet... i was born in the late 90s and i'm kind of shocked just thinking about how much it grew in so little time... how do you even explain the internet to someone??

Do you remember before smart phones? It's kinda like that. We knew that computers could network with each other, even in the 80s, and even as a kid I did use the internet in the 80s, there were usenet forums back then. But at the time, I had no idea I was using the internet, this was at a friends house. So when the internet started creeping into the world around 1993, and really took off in 1994, 1995, 1996....well it just astounded people. If you don't have a thing, you don't know what you are missing. And if everyone else doesn't have a thing, then that's normal for the world. There are poor people in Third World countries today that don't have much, and they could explain it to you. Self driving cars are not everywhere right now, but one day they might be. How will you explain to some kid or early 20s young adult the world before self driving cars? When you yourself had to drive your own car? It's like that.

I remember back when I first started spending a lot of time on the Internet I was wasting a lot of time in chat rooms lol. I also never was able to foretell the information that the Internet would bring. I never foresaw Wikipedia or how to videos on KZbin.

Hey, it’s me from the future. The Internet helped us all so much. We got the hang of it. We started connecting with people from all over the world. Sadly, we also use this to find our future spouses. but all in all it’s been incredibly life-changing. Can you believe there’s people that around that didn’t even know a time before the Internet?😂
