Did You See The 'Internet' Becoming As Big As It Has?

[SirReginald]

For my brehs in the 90's who were using the net, did yall see it becoming this big? David Bowie predicted that the internet would soon share large files of music. Guess what, he was right. I guess as an artist he even saw the future. Extremely extraordinary.

nikka people had been saying the internet and computers were going to become big world wide way before the 90s. How them jobs searches coming though for you?

Everyone knew it was being pushed extremely hard on tv by the mid 90s.

Um everyone did just that back in the day computers were crazy expensive and getting on the internet with dialup etc was tedious slow and frustrating

 

[King Frost]

Paying $50 for 10 hrs a month for dial up

paid $500 for compaq desktop system with a 10GB hard drive

You damn millennials don't know how fun the ish was

all the secret sites you couldn't find on netscape

I use to d/l videos in .mpg, .avi & .divx format

I didn’t see it coming. I thought people were overstating it.

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

That’s a hard question given the constraints of “mainstream” internet back in the mid 90s. I think a lot of people just rolled with the evolution

 

[puppetmaster]

I honestly did. Growing up as a wrestling fan/comic book nerd


Being able to talk to people across the world via chatrooms, message boards etc you could tell this thing was going to be a huge deal

AOL dial up in 2001

Thought it was just a fad that would die down. Seeing pics of a naked woman got me so excited back then.

I think my go to pornsite was blackporn.com, they only updated 5 pics of naked black women once a week. No videos

I used to steal song links from Sohh & plet them on the other hip hop forum I used to frequent, till I joined sohh in 2004
