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.

      It was an old dial-up multi user system that charged monthly fees. Once the internet became popular, Compuserve connected, but they predate the commercial home internet.

        Damn. The earliest thing I remember was AIM. I never used it, just remember being jealous of the other kids. Internet was so expensive.
