I’m new to the internet. Only got access to it 3 years ago. Didn’t own a smartphone until last year. I’m curious how it was for people who discovered it earlier.

    Mid to late 90s in regional Australia. First terrible dialup and then a government subsidised asymmetric dialup/satellite hybrid. You’d click something and wait a bit while the request went out at 28.8k then the response would come back much faster than the 486dx could handle it.

    Search mostly sucked but Lycos knew where all the porn was and Jeeves was ok for other things.
