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.

    When I first used the internet, it wasn’t called the internet, it was ARPAnet, and it was all text based forums and email. Websites hadn’t been invented yet.

      Where did you access it from? Was it a university? As far as I’ve learned, ARPAnet wasn’t available in residential settings.
