Although I progressed from my childhood into my teens in the 90s, l don’t retain much memory of the internet back then as l had no exposure to it.

    So I was in college till 95 and the internet up to that point was basically command line. I mean a guy was doing html at the university which was like the first to get these things a year or so before but it was not mainstream really. I was not really using it much in the next year or two with what I was doing and then in 97 or 98 I encountered it at the library. The big thing to me at that point was my customized excite page which folder and then my yahoo page. Honestly it kinda stayed that way even after y2k. google and youtube and google offerning email with a gig of storage really changed things a lot. Then you had facebook and such. Basically early aughts were way different than late aughts. Also disk, ram, cpu sizes per unit of money increased massively during that time.
