Looking Back Over The Internet in 1996
Oh my, look how far we’ve come! Back in 1996 I was a junior in high school and about the only time I spent online was in America Online chat rooms or running my Wu Tang Clan eClub. I also remember trying to find ways to download games for my Texas Instrument calculator. We all had e-mail addresses, but most people didn’t have personal websites or spend much time surfing online. They certainly didn’t go there with the intention of finding information, it was more for entertainment. The popular browser at the time was Netscape Navigator, though Internet Explorer 3 was starting to gain popularity.
Knowing what we know now, it is truly amazing how far the internet has come in only a little over a decade. A student of Michigan State University recently took a look back at the Internet in 1996 to get an idea of what websites looked like because he was to young to truly remember. I really enjoyed the post and bet you will also!
What is your favorite memory of being online in the late 1990’s?
