Ancient Internet stories


The other day in a training session at work, an executive at my company said, "And in 1996, clients would ask, 'What are we going to do on the Internet? There's nobody there.'

That sparked all of the stories from our youth of the Internet being new and exciting. Remember….

  • In elementary/middle school when everyone had a dial-up connection? 
  • How you could practically do a dance while the computer was connecting to the Internet? 
  • When everyone was on AOL Instant Messenger until the wee hours of the night? 
  • When your house could have a computer without Internet on it and it wouldn't be a big deal?

There are countless memories. What other ancient Internet stories come to mind?
