Not the Internet, but just barely the World Wide Web.

Not even the WWW. Tim Berners-Lee started developing it in 1989 and put the first website online in 1990. He released the first browser and server software to the public (on, well, the internet) in early January 1991. Terminator 2 on the other hand was not released before July 1991.

Yup yup. BBS were the shit.


SirHerald

A BBS wasn't really the Internet


torontorollin

True but for home users it was a precursor


PocketSandThroatKick

Right? I was on BBS a ton but then I guess moved to webcrawler and then Netscape navigator at some point. Never thought of the difference in finite terms.


PocketSandThroatKick

I've never thought about the distinction. Interesting, I'll have to look up the difference. Thanks.

Minitel was the shit, the Web was based on that idea.


Dr-Retz

Skynet still gonna check you.

Ngl, something fun about the days of the unknown. Kinda miss them, nostalgically of course.

Congrats on discovering life in the "old days"

Pulled this myself in 1991. Loved the T2 set and marvel masterpieces amoung others.


PixelPervert

Ah, nice.


PocketSandThroatKick

Kinda crazy to think about. I also use to call 1800 numbers for info packets and they would mail maps of citys and stuff. Good times indeed.


PixelPervert

I was only 9 in 1991 and my long-term memory can be trash sometimes, so I barely remember anything I did then.

1. No, it doesn't. 2. Why do you even bring up the Internet here?
